Style options are always an opinion. Its totally up to you what you want. Both are good options. The cedias are NOT plug and play and require wiring know-how to get them to work. The lip will need to be painted and then installed. Its up to you which you want to tackle first. I happened to do the Cedia/HID route and love the results. I always want to drive at night so I can use the HIDs

did you put your hids in the high or low beam part? i would think it would be less glare in the high beam section then the giant low beam part

I put them in the low beam section. I'm not sure about the glare yet. Having them blacked out definately helps. I'll need to find a wall and take a picture of the glare pattern.

no they didnt **** anything up, asking for pics of the connections will not get you anywhere, only thing the you really have to split is the negative on the hi.low beam, and one of the pos and neg for the side markers, other than that, its cake....
