I need your help on which set of projectors to pick up!!!

ok, so I've been in the headlight market for some time now, and decided that I do want to pick up a set of projectors. My only question/concern is, which one should I get and whom should I buy it from? I actually want the clear turn signal one, but will i get **** from cops? and how would i go about fixing it if that were the case? and i found the one i want from 2 different vendors, but one costing like 40$ cheaper. You see, do they both have one halo ring per headlight or two? because the one in the 2nd pic seems to have 2 and thats the one i want, here are the links

headlight one

headlight 2

Of the two, I'd go with the first. Not only do I like the look of the first one better, I'd NEVER, EVER buy anything from someone that advertised like this:

You know you could buy the ones off Ebay and have them shipped for much less than $1000 AUD, right?

yes I know... even if I paid top dollar from one of the many stores on ebay which is about $260 plus the $120 for shipping to my door (all quoted in USD) it still comes in at half of what I would pay for here... crazy stuff

i think that they are both the same light.. the turn signal in the 1st one, the bulb is just taken out.. and if you were to get pulled over by the cops then, ticket, and u could change the bulb to make it back to orange IF u wanted to, your call.. but if you mean will the cops pull you over for having clear corner, then yes they could.. BUT you could put an orange bulb in the clear corner.. but im pretty sure they are the same light.. looks like that one might have two halos.. i dont think so though, they might have modded it.

The first one.

You know i ordered mine (not from the same sellers) and it pictured the clear sides and sent me the amber ones. So you may want to email them first to make sure.

I really wanted the clear ones too.

well. it depends what kind of projectors... if you plan on staying halogen.. just stay with flourescent. but if you do get those projector headlights, at least plan on switching the projectors with HID projectors.... there are posts about switching then. by o2thag i think. look it up. IMO i prefer reflective for NON-HIDS, but to go projectors, they MUST be HID projectors. =/
