'86 STI Summer Project

I've been looking through a few old pictures from years ago, and it's surprising how a few cosmetic details alter the look of a car.  This is a picture of the STI taken back in 2015.  At that stage it was wearing some rather shabby-looking 504 wheels that could have used a coat of rust paint.  Late 15" alloys, new mud guards, the tucked bumper and the air dam have really transformed this vehicle.

While at work up here near Pond Inlet, Nunavut, I've been planning next steps.  I have a few different sets of driving and/or fog lights I can mount at the ends of the air inlet in the air dam, but I'm having a hard time deciding between a set of Blazer projector fog lights:

...and a set of Pilot Automotive halogen reflector driving lights:

I've actually got two sets of each, and I'm honestly torn.  The Pilot units look pretty good on a 505, as seen on my STX:

...and they're probably more period-correct for the car.  But I also want to replace the halogen sealed-beam headlights with a set of projector inserts, like so:

So now I face the dilemma of picking one...or the other...or something else entirely.  I'm embroiled in similar questions around switches, gauges, and other things.  Details matter, and I don't really like doing things twice.
