Neither. Personally I don't like the eyebrows and I have the dual projectors and I don't think they are very well made.

If I had to vote, I would say eyebrows, then get some eyelids to cover them up.

Aesthetically I like the eyebrows, it gives the front more of a badass "face"... the dual projectors look more like a blank expression IMO. Both look cool with the right grille tho, especially the black ones.

I say dual halos but it all comes down to personal taste. What color is your box? I personally think that dual halos look better on lighter color boxes...not sure why

I went with the dual halos due to finding an EBAY seller that seals them and makes sure they are perfect before shipping them. Plus they are only 152 shipped anywhere in the USA. Here is a picture

Which ebay seller did you use?
I guess I should have waited a little longer to get mine. Back in Dec. there was only 1.

I didn't really like them at first, but they've grown on me. I'm still trying to have a custom Topline face finisher made to go across the top, but money is tight, so I don't think that will come into fruition for a while.

I don't like to post pictures of my car on the forums, but I'm just doing this to help a fellow SL'er decide, so please - no negative comments:

i have a pair of black dual projections and they kick butt. im the only one in arkansas with them i think. im already getting compliments. the ones with the single projection is weak it look deformed to me. id go with dual halo projections. only thing i would change is the lights you get with them and the led lights i have yet to change them both so its not so bright right now.

If you're looking for light output, then don't get any of the projectors period... both of the projectors that come in the dual projectors and the ANZO headlights are weak. A lot of people say Sylvania Silverstars will help, but really... you can't do much to change the optics that were designed into the projector.

I can't give any input on the lighting of these headlights because my projectors were swapped out for Acura TSX projectors.

Default projector lights

I have the dual halo ones. I think they look the best, but the quality is ____ty. ANother thing is, if you don't care about that, they are really cheap now on ebay. The eyebrow ones I think look ugly, except fot the chrome ones, they are okay. These just look choppy and flow with the car. On the other hand, they are made better than the dual halos.

Well, in terms of aesthetics, I think the black eyebrow ones look weird because the halo and the angel eye are white and it really stands out against the black housing... the dual projectors kind of blend together, but I don't like how it makes the front end seem to "taper out"...

Both are really cheap now... like < $200. I remember when people were paying like $330 for those dual halos...
