Whatcha' Think -- FX2 or HD Lights?

So I have been toying with the idea of installing either the "grayed-out" FX2 headlights, or the "blacked-out" HD headlights, on my truck. Given that the color of my truck is Medium Wedgewood Blue, which do you think would look better on my ride?

Here is a front end shot of my truck for reference:

Ive always been a fan of color keyed headlights, but in your case go with the black housing...

Go for the Harley's, if you do strongly consider the OEM's. I have the depo's and one of them is sitting here on the floor getting ready for a second bead of sealer because it leaks. The Hella's have a 1yr warranty but they also have a small piece of carbon fiber inserted above the round signal which I didn't care for. I don't have any good shots, but these will give you a little reference.



If I get a chance I'll grab a pic with one chrome and one Depo light since that's how the trucks sits at the moment.

The FX2 heads are MUCH more expensive than the HDs the last time I checked.

I'd stick with stock, the chrome bumpers don't go well with black headlights IMO.
