Question New headlights:

Looking to update my look and get some new headlights. First off, here's a pic of the car:

The grill is stock and painted matte black, rings are still there. Tails are tinted black, side markers to be tinted, windows to 20 or 35% and I want some matte black rims. I currently have chrome SONAR headlights with the halos and I'm looking at new black housings. What I worry about is overdoing the black and I'm afraid black housing headlights will be too much up front, but I wont be able to tell unless I can see them on my car. (Or a similar one) So any of your own pics would be helpful.

Anyway, here's the options:

SONAR one peice black housings:

DEPO two peice black housings:

DEPO two peice clear housings:

"Devil Eyes" in black:

"Devil Eyes" in clear:

A couple other things:
I'm assuming E-Codes are like the DEPO clears?
If you have suggestions, send 'em up, but they need to be HID ready.
I'm on a budget. =D

Thanks a lot, I look forward to your feedback!

Why two piece? One piece looks so much better. I love my depos. I've had mine for a good amount of time with no cracking or any problems.... But I voted for clear devil eyes.. Not many people have them and I don't think they look too bad. It'd be interesting to see someone else pull them off.

I'd only go for OEM Audi Valeo 1-piece units.

Yes, they're HID ready. I plan on buying some in a couple weeks, two piece as well. I don't want to **** up the installation of the one piece and ruin anything, so two piece for me right now.

Ok, so Devil eyes are growing on me. I just dont want it to go ricer. They seem a bit cheap, bad imitation I guess. What about the black vs clear? Too much black or a good contrast?
