should i stick with the '01s or '03s

as you can see in my avatar i have a 2001 san marino red cl with mesh wheels. today i found a set of '03 black housing headlights. the thing is i just want a quick opinion is that going to look ok. is that too many different colors: red car, mesh colored wheels, black housing headlights.

9/10 the 03's look better.


then for that 10th time, there is an 80% chance that the '03's will look better.



in conclusion. BUY THEM =p

The 01s match your tail lights, rims and the chrome on the car.
The 03s are just aggressive lookin.
I wouldnt pay 200+ for new lights. Maybe if there was a cheap part out.

trust me i dont think your going to find '03s that cheap, plus money really isnt an issue. im getting them from two different places. one is $100 and the other is $160.

I think both look good on SMR. The 01 lights look great with the chrome grille surround on SMR, but a body colored grille surround looks better with the 03 lights IMHO...

Oh, and Werd.... for 260, I'd buy 'em and I already have an 03

The drivers light on mine is fogged bad (out of warranty of course)... and the oem part places want 180-200 per, and I'd have to get a set for 'em to match..
