After market headlights who has them?

Have you swaped out your headlights? Which ones did you go with and where did you get them. I've been looking around for a while and I don't know what is better hid, projector or something else, both...
Don't know if I want halo's or not. So hopefully you guys will be able to help me.
Are these worth looking at?

I tend to agree with you on the Halos. I am really starting to get tired of them because you see them on everything. Same with the Audi style LED strip lights.

I like the halo's but feel like their time has come and gone. I would go with some stock HID's.

Halos

I think Halos really depend on the theme you have for your car. If you have chrome everywhere and white stripes I dont think theyd go. Personally, I have a black and blue theme in which I think they go quite well.

The fogs are actually my own little mod inspired by the BOSS 302 race cars. Its mesh that I glued into the fog opening. I believe it was some scrap screen door material I had laying around.

Those Fog halos look awesome. I debated for a while about either getting the smoked version of them, or getting a new grille. Ended up modding the stock grille instead... Figured the money was better spent somewhere else. But I DO like those fogs.

Wow that looks amazing. Really liking the halo fog lights. I have stock Hids in my 08 stang and I think ill leave them for now. But I definitely would like to look into halo fog lights like that. Anybody think that would look dumb? I know certain combinations dont work so wanted to get anyones opinion.
