Default Getting new headlights, help me choose

In my recent wreck, my driver side headlight frame was cracked pretty good, so I decided I'm going to get new headlights along with my bumper.

The headlights I've been looking at so far are these:

Is anyone running these? Is there a better pair for the price? I'm looking at projectors because I plan on running HIDs soon and don't want to blind anyone with housings not meant for them.

I'm also looking for foglights, since I'm converting to a Sport front end. Any suggestions for foglights that'll fit with matching Halos?

Thanks guys. Should be getting the new bumper and other parts today and tomorrow

The other pair I've been considering are these:

The above come with foglights for around the same price. Not sure how the quality compares, though.

Thats what I thought too.

And nope, the insurance company ruled that nobody was at fault. More than likely because the kid's mom works at the insurance company and doesn't want the accident on his record.

My dad is supposed to be filing a complaint, but no idea when that might happen. He considered legal action, but I think the costs of an attorney outweigh the damages.
