If it is strictly for appearance it would be whatever looks best to you or your targeted audience. If you are actually going for functionality and performance my answer would be neither

Re: Which halo light to go with?

yeah i figured they were probably worthless, but my lights are so bad to begin with i could duct tape flashlights on both sides and it would be 10 times better. I ordered the fake projectors so i guess well see how they work! thanks for the reply

Bingo

Do yourself a favor and send those fake projectors back. Replacement high output sealed beams cost as much as those
Not to mention they will function much better

Re: Which halo light to go with?

If you want REAL projectors with REAL Halos, a friend of mine retro fits them. This is his page https://www.facebook.com/SkinnyBoyLighting?ref=br_tf and here are some examples.

He's doing 7x6 housings for the Firebirds, can apparently only do 4x6 for the Camaro.
