Default Black Housed Headlights
I'm looking for some black housed headlights to match the tail lights I just ordered. Clear lights, but just black plastic on the inside. Any info would be great, thanks!

I've been thinking about getting them for mine for a while now. Hesitant because aftermarket headlights tend to leak. How are they for the 06+ and how does the housing's black look against the car's black paint?

My first set of Depot's leaked after about a month but they replaced them free of charge and they are good to go on my Mom's car still.

If your going to get the blackhoused headlights for your 06+ you might as well get the black housed halo headlights

Jerry, where did you order yours from?

I personally don't like the look/design of the halo headlights. I like the factory look and I like the fact that these are the factory design with a black housing.

I bought them off Ebay, I might be able to find my original post. Let me look.
Edit: Pretty sure this is it.

Ebay projectors and halos suck most of the time, they burn out and the lens on the projectors are pretty sad.

I've also seen more leaking and burnout issues with the projectors.
