making sure that outer plastic is black is about the only way. Mines were tan, and i painted them with flat black, really toned it down.
I say get the 2nd set. the horizontal lines in it will kinda match the headlight, bu tit also has a reflector in it.(shrug)
The only thing i dont like about the second set is that they stand out alot from the normal headlights. But who knows maybe on mine they will come out fine.
I was thinking about maybe tinting them with a thin film like people use on fogs.
