Lets talk about FC headlights

[TitaniumTT]

Hey boys and girls!

Alright, starting to plan out "phase two" of my FC's front bumper. Some of you may be familiar with its.......uniqueness.......

I'd like to address a couple of things and hopefully settle on something that I'm finally happy with.

Here's a pic of what I have at the moment:



Now obviously they're round, shitty fog lights. The lights themselves are actually part of the CP racing kit that used to reside in the car......and FWIW the $500+ cP racing kit used *sigh* fucking chinese fog lights.

Now, my current plan of attack on the bumper involves a two part scheme:

1 - Go all S4 on the bomex cover. Add the S4 trim, line up the marker lights to the rest of the car, remove those gay bubbles from the side and just generally make the lines of the bumper fit and suit the car better.

2 - partly borne from number one, involves the lights themselves. After much deliberation I *think* I'm going to go back to a sqaure style light.....non pop up. Reason being, a square light will fit the style of the car much better the integra looking eye balls currently on the front..............I hope.

Here's where you guys come in

Sqaure style housings: What can I get and in what dimensions? I realize theres all kinds of old school sealed beams out there a1 b1 a2 etc.........but I'm looking for better lighting in general so something that could even be converted to HID would turn me on.

Best lighting in general: Forgetting the style/looks aspect what lights are going to give the brightest, widest pattern I can possibly find? I might consider comprimising the looks slightly for overall better night vision.

And lastly - what would you like to see on the front end? Just curious on some brain farts of what you think would look good. IMHO after all these headlight mods I'm longing for a stock set of pop ups but forget it - because the cheeseball previous owner hacked up the CP install so badly I'd need to weld in another complete rad support to go back.

So cliffnotes:

whats going to give me the best lighting?
what kind of square light housings can I get and in what dimensions?
general wild ideas for the lights
