Aftermarket headlights, do the clear housings make any difference over stock?

My old housings are in very good shape, very little / no fading or anything, I just wanted to upgrade. I know a lot of people here are driving around with some REALLY fogged up lenses, so I would rather not throw them out if somebody can put them to good use.
I didnt get the relays in today, forgot to bring my tools with me to work. Once those are in and the lights are ajusted properly, I should be able to light up the world
Now I just need a 3G alternator and I'm set. I wish someone made a plug and play harness for the conversion, it'd make my job a lot easier since i'm useless at wiring (and everything else >.> )

No pictures of the lights in action yet, but here they are installed on my truck. I was worried that they'd look like they don't belong on my truck, but all that worrying was for nothing, I love them
Still torn about the blinkers / side markers though. Whadaya guys think, keep the stock blinkers or swap them out for the clears?

Looks good, Golden Helmet. Love how the clear headlights freshen up the look of the truck, not sure if you saw the pic of mine on Page 2 but they do look good with the stock corner lenses. I'm leaving the other housings on there... I just couldn't stand the factory headlight housings anymore, the light output SUCKED and they made the truck look like it had cataracts.

I finally got some pictures of the lights in action! I made a new topic so anyone searching in the future won't have to sort through 3 pages to find out how well they work. I put the link in the original post, and I'll leave it here too.
Once again, thank you guys for your help. I probably wouldn't have done it without you guys giving me some input, and the pictures definitely helped a lot too
I did indeed see the picture you posted. That picture you posted is actually why I didn't immediately order the clear blinkers / corners; your truck looks good with the clear headlights and stock blinkers, so I figured I would hold off and see how I liked it on my truck.
I'm probably get the clear blinkers / corners eventually, but I'm not in any hurry on that, I like how it looks right now.

I saw them online somewhere else, but that was the link my computer decided to save Maybe couple that with the upgraded headlight relay and some 6000k HID's, would look pretty snappy!
