If you buy go with Ford Harley Davidson headlights. After market headlights are apt to leak and the plastic lenses tend to craze.

I know, had a cheapo set then bought the HD heads.

I got mine a Ebay for $115 and almost a year later, no leaks. I did seal them up with silicone.

Buy good OEM Harley Davidson version lamps, or paint your OEM ones yourself as already stated.

More of a grey, but still a good looking headlamp.

Not really, only aftermarket replicas. I personally love my black depo lightning style projectors.

You can buy the cheap ebay headlamps, just know the grade plastic is thinner than OEM so be careful, and its best to re-seal them with stronger silicone.

hmm.. Not sure on that one, I dont think that would look too good, but I also think as long as I have the chrome bumper my stock headlamps are the best looking for it.
