i vote black out the housing and do a clear diffuser

I'm actually thinking about opening up the housing and spray a thin layer of gloss black from the inside.

Not a fan of yellow at all, so I'm gonna say go back to stock. Blacked out might not look too bad, but only if you add some black accents to the car here and there.

Actually I do have a bunch of black accents. Black wheels and a bunch of CF goodies.

i also vote that you paint everything inside black expect for the bulbs like the 06s to see what itd look like..havent seen it yet..but you would be decreasing visibility..but hey thats overrated haha

not sure on the gloss tho as it be too reflective..i say satin black..now grab some krylon

I vote that you fix the leak first!!! haha if your going to buy a new left headlamp anyways, u might as well use the old one to expierement with the black/smoked look to see how muck you really like it as opposed to dropping over $400 ea. on new lamps b/c u dont like the look of them when ur done. just a thought...

I dunno Ethan, its a tough call, your bumper is so crazy that I guess the yellow works, but it really doesn't complement anything at all on your car, so in the end I'd say no. Anyone who does yellow headlights is looking to be noticed, so I can assume you want your Z a little over the top.

I think you have JP sides right? I'd do a JP type N front, black out your headlights, slam it out, and prey you don't run into any speed bumps -- I'm sure you've seen rickdogs Z, something similar to his would be fly.
