I'm planning to buy a D2s mini 4.0 retrofit kit from a member here with 35w 6500k HIDs and Apollo 1.0 shrouds.

I was wondering what you guys would do as far as the actual housing. Would you wait for an OEM set to pop up for sale here or get a set of aftermarket headlights? I would kinda like black/black chrome housing and reflector but I don't want something the clear coat will peel off of or have the lens crack... It would be nice not to have to paint the inside since I'm not great at painting.

OEM is the best bet, even the TRS housings are not great.
