    I swapped the headlights from the first pic out for the ones in the second pic. I think they have a more original (old school) look to them. Thoughts?

    Also, does anyone have a spare set of the rubber headlamp socket covers laying around?

    Looks great! I have the same ones! I hope you applied enough silicone to them before the installation. All these aftermarket headlights suffer from condensation inside soon or later.
