The left one looks nice but will you get a ticket for it? Doesn't it cut down the light considerably?

(I got a ticket for mine a while ago)

Don't see a lot of other chrome on your truck...so I would go all black (but I did that on my truck...so I might be biased)

Looks like the all black one is a projector and the chrome one is a stock light.
