listen up! Vdub in da house! ( love that advert)

I think my car styling is looking really nice atm but the front of the car is looking a little old with the yellow
halogens and scratched acrylic lenses... so... question to all you guys is this:

What the &^%&% can I do because yesterday I started trawling through the forums and yt and decided to try
baking soda and vinegar... haha I must say if I needed to get an old car through the mot it would be great for that but... no good
for styling your pride and joy!

I know I have a few option but I have not had the chance to see some cars with projector headlights up close with headlights in mind.

so ..

option 1: Do I get a headlight restoration kit/buy new standard headlights and put some osram cool blue intense/similar.
this option seems viable with all these new high end halogen bulbs ( osram nightbreaker laser just out)@

option2: buy some depo projectors (can't find hella ones anywhere) and use halogens\hid kit without auto adjust, etc


option3: wait for a good second hand pair of original r32 xenons with balasts and find someone who can sort out 12 pin adapter , modules, wheel sensors. etc.
so I can have auto adjust and maybe bi xenon?


finally - what is with the black painted inside of these lights? does that really look better ? to some of the photos i see on google don't convince me !
but as I said I have not seen much in person- maybe i should have a look on autotrader and go see some cars nearby.

Option three is the best, but option two would be cheaper and easier if either of those is important to you.
