I was looking at replacing my Headlights with LED Bumper and Corner Lights as visibility through them is crappy at best and looking for a more sleek look. Im looking for a smoked look and came across these and wanted peoples opinions and advice before going ahead with them. Thanks in advance!

^^^This. You're not going to gain a ton of visibility getting headlights with black backrounds. You'd be better of getting something with a reflective backround and slightly smoked lenses. Of course that isn't optimum either, but it would be better than what your link shows. Ultimately it comes down to finding a compromise between looks and function. Good luck.

Don't buy the ones off CarID. You can get the same ones as well as ones with the chrome backing in the housings on eBay shipped for like $120 if you buy it now. If you bid and wait it out its about $112. I'll post a link if I have time before work.

EDIT: I couldn't find the seller that had the set I was talking about earlier, I swear they change products all the time. Anyways, same thing you want with chrome housings SHIPPED for $124.50

I bought one of those ebay sets and only paid $85 shipped for a entire set of those black housing/chrome reflector headlights with parking lamps & smoked amber corners. I love mine, haven't had a single issue & light output is great. Can't beat them for the money.
