Headlight Advice
I own a Black 99 Expedition (EB) and I recently purchased some Altezza backlights (GunMetal) that look like these:

What head lights would you guys recommend that I get?
I'm thinking about the Projection Lights:

I can't find any headlights with gunmetal so at least I want to get some that have a circular shape.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome to FTE 
Projection lights are pretty cool, IMO. However, make sure you get some turn signal lenses that match the new headlights, or else it will look funny.
As far as bulbs go, I have a set of Sylvania Silverstars. They're ok I guess...I've always used the Pep Boys Cool Blues (which are Sylvania) and they're noticeably better than stock. The Silverstars are apparently brighter and crisper than the cool blues, but it's not a super-dramatic difference. IMO, they're not worth $25 each. They're great bulbs, but you can get pretty much the same effect with a $15 Sylvania cool blue.
Take care!

I say leave the projections alone. Save $200, and go for the HID conversion....
