I was double-minded about mine too for a long time. Then I decided to do it (myself), thinking if I didn't like it, someone here will happily exchange their unpainted ones with mine. Then all through the blackout process, I kept saying to myself, "this better be worth it."

Well, it has turned out to be the best visual mod I have done. Depending on the shade you decide to go with, it can look fantastic during the day or at night. Good luck!

leave it clean, don't black them out, you're just overkilling a theme, you currently have positive contrast

Most definitely since you have a bit of black contrasting with your vehicle.

Wow the photoshops are awesome! I'm still a bit torn but now I'm leaning more towards blacking them out. I'm soooo tempted but just need to make a good decision since I can't go back on this and the 06 headlights are hard to find.

Are you ignoring my suggestion on blacking out the handles If you black out the headlights the handles would look icky so to match with the rims and headlights, black out those mothertrucking handles
