Welcome to the club mate,I would go for the angel eye head lights
but stay away from the lexus tail lights.I used to have them but they
didnt seem to seal to the body work properly resulting in water getting
in and creating a damp smell in the boot.

Mate...

I was waiting in anticipation, of the backlash opposing the choice of Lights...
I have these lights, and as Craig mentioned, there was issues with the water sealing...
That being said, My Solution was to simply double up on the 'thickness' of the seal, and no leaks since!!! :dance:

You are right in that the Standard Lights now seem 'Basic and Plain' but it's all about finding that Balance...
From what I can see in Your pics, these Lights both Front and Rear, will NOT blend in too well for You...
When 'Pimping Up' any car, you really go to go 'all or nothing' in order for it to work...

I suggest that You start with a nice set of wheels, either 17 or 18 inch...
