I need help on a decision!!!!!

I like the stock lights much better. Something just bugs me about the other ones. To get an unbiased opinion I asked my wife who just got out of the shower and didn't see any of the topic other than the pics I showed her which she likes more and she likes the stock ones too and said "The other lights look weird".

I don't like them.  Also, headlights are designed so you can see at night.  If they aren't even bright, why mess with them.  If I were swapping headlights, I would go for some e-code headlamps, for any given wattage, they are brighter than USDOT headlamps, they are safer, they produce less glare, and unless you have inspections, no one will know you are not running a DOT approved lamp.  You should be able to find e-code lamps easily enough for your car.

You will probably need to get another set of plugs for the inners because I think thats what my problem is with them.

Now you're talking. The other ones are not good. I like these and can tell they would look nice on the car.

Not a fan of aftermarket projectors, especially if you're giving up the functionality of the stockers.

forgot to mention I had to grind a bunch out of the buckets to get them to go in with that giant rubber thing on the back, but you may have already dealt with that.
