Need advice on new headlights

I have a white 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix and I am looking to replace the stock headlights and tail lights. Any suggestions as to what kind?

I'm uncertain which lamps you speak of, but in my mind more contrast is better. Chrome and white together, and tinted headlights are things I would personally avoid due to my taste.
 
Those one piece halo projector headlights are garbage, they bounce and break the mounting tabs off and have meh output. But I'm just letting you know so your not disappointed after you get them.

As too the point of this thread, black gets my vote.
 


Are the Spyder Chrome Euro Replacement Headlights a good choice? I was thinking about getting the Spyder Chrome Euro Headlights and the Spyder clear led tail lights. Thanks.

o ordered the dark housing headlights because i thought they looked cool. I am going back to my stock headlights with clear corners though until i do retros. The dark housing headlights suck and i mean SUCK at putting out any sort of light. They are too dangerous to drive with at night.

the amount you would spend on spyder products you can use towards a retro fit, looks 10xs better, as well as the output being MUCH better, as far as taillights IMO vht nightshade tint them.

Are they 35w or 55w HID's? Looks good though. Any pictures of the headlights on the car?

35w

No longer on the car, I tried to retro them just to see the hype and busted the housing.

So instead of spending $200+parts, I bought oem lights and just had those done

To me the sonar vs retro, better sure, but omg what a different? not even close
 


I have the spyder projectors with chrome housings and red led tails. I think the combo really updated the look of the car and the light output with HIDs (35 watt) is great. They bounce a little but adding some weather stripping below the headlights helps. I like the one piece look of the headlights.
