Default 1 piece headlights vs. 2 piece headlights

Hey guys,

I wanted to get your opinion regarding headlights.
As I have been searching through the posts, I couldn't figure out if anyone has ever installed 2 piece headlights? The ones that I'm talking about look like these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-98...69198694QQrdZ1

I saw a chrome pair, but suddenly I can't find the listing.

Is there a benefit to the 2 piece over the 4 piece?

What about halo headlights. I kind of like those, but I'm unsure how they would be wired to work on my car (98 a4 2.8 quattro).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Could you tell me where you got the clear set? I think that's what I'm looking for.
Did you get it from ebay? If so, who is the seller.
Thanks.

If your not into messing with your fender or wiring the connections then thats a good choice. Personally I prefer the one piece it just looks cleaner, and its not as hard as they make it sound. Stick with projectors it focuses the light better if your gonna do HIDs, I'm guessing its all the same wiring though.

id reccommend the 1 piece lights but the 2 piece will be better than leaving the ugly stock ones that are on your 98

just be careful about some of those ebay lights..theyre not all the greatest of quality..you dont want all kinds of condensation and **** forming on the inside

So I think I"ll go with the one piece. I like the dark "e-code" lights.
How about the halos? can you weigh in on those? I like those too.

Thanks
