Default Need opinions on headlights, Silverado

I've been tossing around the idea of getting some new headlights. Not real sure what way would be the best looking. I see the pros and cons of both sets. I also know I could clear the stockers, but they arent in the best shape and I dont see a point in wasting time with them. This is the truck I'm working with.

Potential headlights:

03-06 Silverado/03-05 Avalanche Chrome Crystal Headlights/Bumper Signal Lamps | eBay

or

03-06 CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUP CRYSTAL HEAD LIGHTS+BUMPER SIGNAL LAMP BLACK 04 05 | eBay


I appreciate any and all opinions.

I had the chrome ones and they look really good when installed. I just ordered a set of black ones so we will see how they look when i get em. Imo either one looks better than stock

I do. I had originally thought that the all chrome ones would look cleaner against the red, but your truck was the reason I started thinking the black ones would be better.

I agree. Anything has to look better than the orange. So far, this is the longest Ive every owned a vehicle that still had the orange reflectors.

Id definitely like to see pics for comparison sake when you get them.

If you look at the z you can see I had the all clear ones that your thinking about. I wasn't happy with them. They looked good but didn't seem to go with the truck.

If you are colormatching everything and/or ditching the billet, I'd say black. If you are keeping the chrome stuff everywhere else, I think the chrome lights would look better.
