Headlight assembly

I need to replace my headlights, including the turn signal and marker lights. I can't decide if I want to go with the 1-piece aftermarket assembly or the factory style 3-piece.

What do you like best and why? Any advantages for either one?

Such a personal thing, but I would prefer originals. The one piece lights never really look right to me. They always look like they were modified, but that is just my opinion *shrug*. If they made a one piece look like it could have come from the factory that way, I could reconsider.

I thought the same thing. The 1-pc lights in clear or smoked look great, until you see them on the car. However, I have seen a couple cars that wear them well for some reason. Now I can't seem to make up my mind. I'm going to replace them when it goes in for paint... probably later this summer.

That was the one reason I went with the diamond clear instead of the 1 piece.

Woops! Sorry and thanks for pointing that out, lyonmt!

Thanks to "Almost Stock" for posting that beautiful example! Love the car, bud! Looks awesome!

By the way...I ordered the clear 6 piece set. They're sitting at the house now (I'm still working on the boat for a couple more days). I don't plan on putting them on until I get the car painted. It will be a couple months, I think.
