Default Looking for Headlights

So I have a silver 03 Quad Cab and really want to change out my headlights to look better (I hate the stock ones, they oxidize horribly). I'm wanting to find a good pair of clear lights with a chrome background to replace them with, but don't know really what would look best or where to buy from.

There was a user on here who's name idk but has a truck just like mine with clear lights and it looks pretty awesome.

Also, while im going for the headlights, any ideas as for bulbs to put in? Might as well upgrade to HDMI or something while im at it haha.

Edit: Opinions on this set-

I prefer a two-piece over a one-piece. I bought mine off E-bay. I put HIDs(8000k) in mine. In the clear signals I used the Silverstar bulb. They're blue off and amber when on.

I like the one piece. Although, I think the blackend style would look better. I have the 2 piece and they are ok tho. One lense always looks different. This is why I like the one piece.

Here is an ebay link.

As for the light bulbs. These all the way.

thanks for the feedback =]

Obviously I don't know much about lights, so I wasn't aware of the whole two piece deal, most especially unaware of any fitting issues!

I believe the lights I saw on that user here were eerily similar to those of OneBadKoda, they look great! Probably ones I'll end up getting haha

Now for the lightbulbs, anyone else agree on the Ultra Halogen one's like silver said? (http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...ce/Silverstar/)

thanks again
