i have a set of 08 headlights sitting in my room that will replace my 03 headlights.
i'm either getting them painted like what i posted (in matte black) or just leaving them stock.

i'm having a hard time deciding though. i'm kinda worried the one chrome piece will throw the whole look off.

ive seen it done, installed before. All black def looks better. But then again, you can always just paint it if you don't like the way it turns out.

ew, bro either paint the whole housing black or leave it stock. Might as well stuck with 03 lights if your going leave some chrome like that.

i understand you don't want that slight bubble, but if your worried about something minor like that then leave it stock

yeh i love the all black look too but i don't want to have to go back and repaint it. i want this to be a one shot deal.

i think i might just leave it stock...for now. it won't really go well with the color scheme i have in mind but oh well.

Default um..

i think leaving the chrome is ill.
That light loks great, but it of course depends on the rest of your car.

Cesar at Lightwerkz.net did my lights and we painted that reflector pipece silver to match the projector housing.

my lights are all the pics from after Adams Silver Z (w the red seats)... down to the end.
