I know the problem.

They're round. while the front end is divided into squares and rectangles. It doesn't match anything on the front end.

Its like wearing brown socks with a blue suit. sure you could do it, but its not going to look good.

If you had round headlights it would kick butt.

Agree. Maybe if you had some rectangular ones instead, but again, I don't think it will fit the layout of the nose of the car, since allot of the nose is already filled in.
Of course, it's your car, so your the one who has to like it. The idea of adding something unique is always cool, just not always to everyone else.

Does a blue suit ever look good?

I like the grill, gives me some ideas. I also picked up a set of PIAA fog lights the other day so maybe this will help me get them installed.

I think we can all agree on this statement.
