Question question on H4 headlight trims

It's time to replace the H5's (thanks US DOT for a really lousy headlight) on my RSA.
I will be putting on H4's, thanks to some previous posts on the topic and will be staying with 55/60W bulbs (no relay required). However, I still have a few questions for the group.

Do most people buy/install the additional trim ring (that only has one screw exposed on the bottom) that goes over the stock chrome/black ring (which I believe has 4 screws exposed)?

What do the Euro 964's with H4's have for trim rings?

Anyone recommend a place to buy everything needed (headlights, screws, bulbs, etc)?
So far I have found AJUSA, Pelican, Schatzmotorsport and eBay. My goal here is one stop shopping if possible!

Thanks.

The Euro H4 uses the trim ring. AJUSA has everything you need including the electrical plug you will need to replace your H5 plug with. <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />

The trim ring is standard on non-US cars and is painted body-colour. The one below it is black. The car wouldn't look right without the outer one.

Yes, I used the trim ring. I didn't do one stop shopping however preferring the considerable savings from buying parts from different sources. Remember to allow circa $100 if you are going to have the trim rings professionally painted.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I'll order the parts this week and Eric at Bumperplugs.com is said he would paint the trim rings midnight blue metallic L39C.
