The most useful comment was already given to you by whoever suggested getting GT86 or BRZ headlights and wiring them up. If you don't want to do a little bit of rewiring, then this isn't the modification for you.

cheap aftermarket headlights are a terrible way to go with cheap seals, terrible projectors (if they even use projectors) , and plastic lenses that will fade and bubble within a couple years (learned from firsthand experience) best option other than gt86/brz lights are a retrofit... im not retrofitting as im really really certain i want gt86 lights

I was giving a secondary option. I said OEM in the first post I made.

Just ignore them.

I know exactly what you mean and I've been wondering about the same thing. So many people want to get rid of the ugly chrome housing our cars came with and it appears that the only alternative is to custom paint it (which I have no balls or skills to do) or go all out and retrofit, and with my technical skills - forget about it.

I would think a lot of companies will look into this and find an opportunity to capitalize on the demand for a more affordable and practical alternative.
