Angel Eyes, Clear vs. stock?

I bought CCFL E46 Angel Eyes some weeks ago and I'am now in progress to install them.
But can decide if I should go for the EuroClear-look (will remove the bracket that is visible @ pciture), "Stock"-look or skip the angel eyes.
I like the Stock-look most (pic 1)


What do you think about it?

(the hull is not attached completely becouse it's a pain in the a** to remove)
(angel eyes on the low beam is at this point only attached with some tape)

I'd say go with the clear (bottom picture). It makes the angel eyes look more clean, distinct, and "owlish".

it's funny. i never knew about these 'angel eyes' until about two days ago. then i really notice it on the road. i woulld of never detected it - havent for a long time too. might as well make it distinct.

How did you get the seal apart on the headlight assembly?? I tried, but gave up since I didn't want to damage it. It's glued on pretty good! Do you have any pics of how & where to take apart the headlight. I don't want the angel eyes, just the clear look without the glass in front of the bulbs!

My vote is definitely with the clear Euro look...which most closely resembled the OEM on the 2004+. The stock-look somewhat drowned out the AE.
