Which headlights do you prefer?

So while looking at A4s & A5s, the difference in LEDs got me thinking.

Do you prefer the:

A) B8 A4/S4 & R8 LED's, the eyelid type
B) B8 A5/S5 & TT-S LED's, the parabola type
C) Xenons and no LED's

I'm all about the B8 A4 & R8 type. I think it looks a lot better than the A5/S5 LED's. This may be one reason I never considered one.

Edit: Here are some examples, not my pictures but taken from online.

I like both styles of LED's but if I had to choose it would be the R8/A4/S4 style.

However, wouldn't it be possible to buy a set of A4 headlights with the eyelid style and swap them on to the S5, for example?

I hate LEDs, it makes them look like some rice burner.

I voted for the R8s purely on looks. However, the actual lighting performance is also high on my requirements, so if the R8 headlamps don't support AFL, then it would be the traditional B7 HIDs.

So it looks like most prefer the B8 & R8 LED's, as do I, though the A5/S5 LED's are getting better the more I see them.

Personally like the R8 LED's. I've inquired about removing the defusing lens from my A5 LED's but I hear it's far too much work to make it worth it.
