Help choose : Black housing headlight / taillight

I'm looking to get black headlight and tailight, but have no idea which model to choose ...

I have a 02 MCS without HID projector ( standard HID for 02 ) ...

Do anyone have black halo headlight and the new Black LED stripe headlight on there 02 ? HID is plug & play even if OEM is not projector ? Where to look & buy ??

What about the taillight ? I want something nice, nothing "ricer" ... LED if possible ... Black housing too ... Where to look & buy ??

Thanks,

DEv

I haven't found anything for tail lights that doesn't look tacky.

It's the bright white center that does them in for me

There is a set for sale on the San Antonio craiglist that are pretty blacked out-
