Default Which headlights should I go with?

I'm ordering the Smoked Recon tail and 3rd brake lights this weekend but can't make up my mind on the headlights. It's either between the Nightrunner headlights or the Halo Projector ones. If I went with the Nightrunner headlights I'd also buy the Oracle Halo Kit for them but it would be nice if I went with the Halo Projector headlights not only because it would be $250+ cheaper but also the halo's are already installed and ready to go. If you guys were making the choice, which would you go with?



-Thanks

Damn, EJM that looks sick. Two questions, are the headlights Plug-N-Play and what bulbs are you using in them?

Im using 8000k HID's from twiggy on Dodge Talk. To get the halo's to work you need to splice them into the parking lights. I brought mine into a custom audio store to do that part for me. here is a pick of the hid's.

If I go with the Nightrunners w/ Oracle Kit, how hard is it all to install? I'm first of all worried about cracking the plastic when trying to remove it, then also sealing it properly with no leaks when I'm finished. Have any of you guys done it before or painted your own headlights where you had to open them up, if so how difficult was it?

You should pay me to retro some 3" projectors into your housings, color paint match everything and do CCFL rings on top of the shrouds. ;-)
