the bottom ones look more like factory. i would go with them.

Those are sonar projector housings though. to get them to function properly you have to open them up and re-seal the housings yourself b/c the manufacturer did such a shitty job. other than that i have heard nothing bad about the product. The beam is very defined and focused.

on the packaging it does say not to use hid kits with these, but everybody does and it works just fine. just make sure you order h1 bulbs instead of the h4 that came on your car originally. I have installed a few of these.

you gotta get the hid kit w/ bulbs+ballasts. when ordering, they will ask you what bulb style and you select h1.
