Default Clear or Black Projectors???

Need a little some input guys. I've been going back and forth between whether or not black projector headlights would look good on the front of my stock black 04 GMC VHO?

Here's a pic of the clear

Id go with the black if you have a black truck. That would blend good.

Get some Denali factory headlights and get the inside painted black if you want the look it will cost alot more but they wont leak and you will also be able to see. The aftermarket projectors suck BAD. No light hardly at all. My buddy has an 88 with projectors and you cant see **** and it is the same projector ball in the housing for 88-02 chevy and 88-05 GMC.

Yellow Fever: Those are aftermarket right? Did you have any of the problems the other guys were telling me about - leaking and not enough light?

Thx
