What would you chose? I like the black out look and want to keep it under $300 for it all. I found some projector headlights on eBay and I want to hear some experiences. I also only like the white hids. Thanks

I just want new clean headlight assemblies so the new silverstar ultra's I installed actually do something!

Depends on where you live, in the city projectors all the way, in the country they still work but the cutoff requires a decent set of brights or auxiliary lights for what's beyond the cutoff

Hids DDM tuning all the way had mine for just over a year with no problems from either set

Blacked out looks good as long as it isn't on the lenses or the reflective surfaces inside the lights.
Like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/94-01-DODGE-...item256bb05655

Those look like mine in the way of non-existent adjusters though. The only way to adjust them is to shim the lights where they attach to the truck.

Ya I think I bought these
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...d=58875741038a

And they totally suck. I can't see anything at all, besides the baseball sized light ball it produces. I want to get blacked out ones again but my last ones sucked and the plastic retainer fell off and I went through mud that destroyed the reflective paint. I tried to reprint it chrome but it didnt work. So I'm just looking for a good set of headlights for hids such as this one with the ddm lights.

Yeah I think they were something like 150 or so there sonar projectors, I bought the Hids separate and had to do a little Dremel work to get the Hids to fit properly but it was quick and easy, and a little wire swapping too.

Here's a couple pics, I have the smoked version, they also make a black

This was with them aimed a little low have since raised them up and are plenty good for city but at 60 on back roads the cutoff just kills you so I have driving lights behind my grille
