Exclamation Black Or Chrome Projectors?
All i want to know, i got a silver civic and was wondering which look better, chrome or black tyc projectors. Do the chrome ones emit more light, because well they have more chrome aroudn them? or does that not matter. anyways, just reply with the word chrome or black.
Thanks alot in advance

i know the chrome ones look nice, but do the black ones make it look cheap? all the projectors on the other cars you see these days have chrome ones, but what about black, im tempted to go black so help me out.

I have black tycs... But iam actually getting them painted the color of my car (tan).

Why not get silver? You have an alteza grill? Then the black projectors will match it

Well it depends on what color's your car, you might wanna get the one that would stand out, i.e. if you have yellow, silver etc get black, they look better that way IMO!!!

ya, i probably am going to go with chrome. also, to people who have these, does both the projector and the high beam light up when you have your brights on? or just the brights?

See I like that....I loved my cleared lights, but they were shattered in a wreck. I really like the projector look even more though.
