Default Paint color for 06+ headlights help

Hey fella's, I'm going to have my headlights painted
(blacked out) but I was wondering what color people are using and what looks best? Charcoal vs black vs etc what about the finish, satin vs flat vs gloss. Opinions?

If it matters I'm respraying my car to a White metallic colour and metallic black Nismo v2 bodykit.

Flat black looks best unless you already have a black car, Even tho IMO flat black still the way to go. Bright finish look kinda gawdy for me.

i opted to leave in the light defractor over the turns... looks good and keeps the OEM clean look.. also went w a semi gloss black, more like flat, but it is NOT straight up primer color like some do... that looks terrible in the sunlight.
