    I had a set... Never hooked them up to see the difference in light output, I just didn't liked the way they looked. I've heard the same complaint, but if you convert to HID's it should eliminate that problem. Mine were already converted, but again... Test fit one, didn't like.

    I like the pop ups more, it's a classic look these days.

    Your best bet would be a low-profile pop-up with a projector low beam. if you're looking for style and function.
    The one-piece kits won't have the best beam pattern because of the position of the lights, even with a projector/HID setup.

    I think it depends on the actual light buckets that you get. I think it could look good, but Echonova, you're right. Those that you test-fitted look kind of bad.
