you could always go back to style of the '80's and get a pair of these

I wouldn't do it either way, but that's just my opinion

HELL NAY...lol.

I think it takes away from the sportiness and luxury of the car. Plus your headlight wont have the full brightness, thus if you like many people have matching pair of 6k or 8k fogs and low beams, then they are gonna be way off.
