Question 01 Accord Headlight Opinions/Help

Im looking for aftermarket headlights (not projectors) for an 01 Accord Sedan. Its silver, windows tinted black. Wondering which of these you guys think would look better? Im leaning toward black housing ($130 from autodynamic, good price?)

Chrome Housing

Black Housing

Also would hyperwhites look nice for the signals in the front, or would it look weird having stock headlights and hyperwhite signal lights. Im just concerned about putting hyperwhite for headlights because they burn out quicker so for signals its easier since its not AS important if it burns out.

Also the back of the 01 Accord, the taillight, is it illegal to put hyperwhite for the signal? Theres a sort of orangish look because of the bulb im thinking but if i change it to hyperwhite itll have a blueish look? Just wondering if thats illegal and if that would get rid of the ugly orange on that taillight?

Thanks

I like the chrome housing better, for the headlights, as for the tail lights, i've been reading on how to remove the little amber backing behind the signal, and I am planning on doing that MOD in the spring, but here in Boston, the blue turn signal is illegal, but Boston Police won't really bother it's the STATIES that cry about that. I'm taking my amber backings out of the 01 accord and putting in silver coated amber bulbs. The tail lights will be red and clear to the sight, but the signal will still be amber when they are flashing.

I don't know what the stock wattage is for the accord, but I'd be careful if I was you I burned my harness before with some HID bulbs.
