Cool Best Looking Black Headlight Assemblies for 05 Sedan?

The title explains my dilemma. I don't want overlays, I want a completely new headlamp assembly. It has to be black (or mostly black). Price is a non-issue. So far these are the only 2 headlight assemblies I can find that manage to fit the 05 Sedan.

As of right now I am leaning towards the Anzo style... the LEDs seem a bit tacky for me but the dual halos is just too sexy IMO

I would like to hear:
- your thoughts on which one you like better
- if you own one, your experience with it (i.e. ease of install, quality, bulb life, etc.)
- any other black headlamps I may have missed that will go on an 05 Sedan
- PICTURES of what your car looks like with any aftermarket headlamps (don't have to be black)

Please help!!!!!!!!!

If you want the best money can have get someone to paint the inner bezel on a set of 06-07 projector headlights. They look amazing and perform beautifully. These are xenon projectors. There is a difference between xenons and Halogens.

If thr headlight are for a coupe they will not fit a sedan without replacing the hood, fenders, bumper and several other parts. Basically a coupe front end conversion. If you did that you woukd be better off with factory coupe projectors.

Since he has a sedan I believe you're referring to the 05/06 yes?

They both look like *** in my opinion. Everytime i see a sedan on the street with these, i can't help but think they are just too busy and cheesy looking.

Yes, the pictured headlight assemblies are for a coupe. The link is for the sedan. I just want to know which ones work best.


I cleaned my OEM ones off with a headlight kit and the crud was back in three months. I need to replace them.

Just noticed that the sedan housing say for low beam, "use your original bulbs" so these work with HID bulbs? I have a feeling the pattern will look terrible.

Stock sedan headlights are too bug-eyed for my taste (For my black sedan). The black give's it a better look overall, or if it had the curved coupe look then it would have been perfect stock.
