Rep Power: 0 Grow some nutz and paint them yourself, believe me, I hesitated over a year before I cleared my headlights, then they fogged so I re-opened them and painted them myself. You don't know until you try it, the biggest thing is PATIENCE, if you take your time, you can do it, believe me. I can probably take off my bumper & headlights now in about 15 minutes, honestly...i'm sure it's the same for anyone else who has already done the DIY. Just take your time and use a quality paint, GO FOR IT!! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

But anyway, there aren't any TRUE black housing headlights for sale at the moment. The ones you've seen on E-Bay are falsely advertised. They're actually gunmetal housing and you'll definitely notice they're not black if you buy them ( like I did ). They used to be advertised as gunmetal, but they weren't selling well so they started advertising them as black housing. THen of course they started selling well. They're also built poorly, I had 2 pairs of them sent to me and they were both faulty.
Just givin' ya the heads up on crappy no name products that you DON'T want to buy.

Rep Power: 0 Paint them! I painted mine a blue/black color. Their blue at some angles and black in the other.
Link to some pics(the car is a little dirty, i guess that is what I get for driving to and from lake tahoe).
Edit: I did not want a glossy paint. I picked a semi gloss paint and used black primer.
