I can see how the clears could be considered rice, I'm on the fence though. The black ones are better imo, sleek and subtle ftw.

Rice.

How many things do I wish I was, that I'm not?

- Audi-like LED-style strip (maybe they're LEDs... dunno)
- BWM-like rings
- MB-like location of horizontal strip above headlamps

They all look nice. I don't think upgrading your headlights should ever be considered rice.

I don't get why those after market headlights have to come with Halos. It seems like there's none that makes non-halos with black housing.

i guess alot of aftermarket headlights + tail lights tend do try and ape euro style heads...but if you think about it, whats designo's trademark around here? led strip whered they get it from? audi doesnt seem to stop ppl from getting them no hate on your theory cuz i agree, alot of ppl do stuff to their car so they look like higher model or class cars...i put brushed mirrors on my golf to mimic an RS4 ^^"

OP, dont be discouraged to get the black ones, they look pretty clean but beware, if you put them on a stock car it will be borderline rice

thats my 10 cents haha

Not sure about the halos but otherwise not bad

IMO OEM one doesn't look that good, surprised it has projectors though
