Default AP1 vs AP2 "cleared" headlamps look better?

Sup people, I owned an AP1, I love the look everything on AP1 besides the rear taillights. I have been thinking about AP2 headlights for awhile with upgrading AP1 projectors. I initially liked the amber looked when I first got her, then came to my new fond for liking of the cleared headlight looked for a clean GPW. I liked the look of stock AP2 headlights, but with clearing I'm leaning towards AP1 with the clear. I just want to know what your thoughts and opinions. Here's the first two photo's of my car and a few later ones with cleared AP2 and AP1.

Any info would happily appreciated, thanks bro's

I agree cleared ap1 look better than cleared ap2, imo. Also I'm not quite feeling the ap2 headlights with ap1 bumper, haven't seen too many pics though.

Ahhh, Thanks KevinS2000. I remember passing through post and actually saving that first pic. And yes, ATM, I truly dig the STOCK AP2 headlamps and sidemarkers and that was the look I was going for with the amber look. I appreciate you posting on this thread, giving me a good feel on the decision.

After recalibrating my thoughts, since have gone with powder coating the wheels candy apple red. To offset the look, The clearing of both the AP! headlights and the sidemarkers will make it look more appreciative with the wheels given the contrast. Likewise, if I kept the OEM wheels unpainted I think the amber shrouds will give it that contrast as well. This is just my opinion however.

And thanks WheresJc. I think I can save some mullah and purchase the clearing of the sidemarkers and diffuers.
