Best looking headlights

I have a titanium metallic colored car. I have been looking around for pics of what people with this color car have done and I cant seem to find many. I want to stick with the oem light and either clear it or black it out or if there are any other things i can do post those up. But mainly I want to see some pics of what people have done with my color car. Thanks.

I blacked out my headlights, It looks pretty nice on a NHBP... I'll try to take pics tomorrow(since it's 12:20am). I'd say try to look for a colour that matches your car. But I'm sure people will say other wise

Remember, You don't need to 'black' out a light to 'black' it out. Krylon makes lots of different colours of their fusion paint that we love so much for that project.

I may do a darker blue for my friend's 03 ex coupe's lights. She has a dark blue paint job so I figure it will match.

The worst thing I've ever seen were black headlights on a white civic. Blacked out headlights that is.

I personally like blacked out headlights on white cars, not trying to be disrespectful or rude but you should be think before saying anything like that cause most of the white 7th gens on here do have blacked out headlights.

I like this look, where it has some black, but not a crap load, and you dont paint over the refelector.

Calm down man, it's something called an opinion. Internet forums are full of them. I've read countless "ford sucks" threads, and I have owned 4 fords and enjoyed them, yet I never got upset over those threads.

In my opinion the cleared look the best out of all of them. What do you all think. Also does anyone have a pic of the gunmetal like hayz has on my color car?

alright i know this thread is old but i have some questions...so i just got my civic like 2 weeks ago and it has head lights that look a lot like the ones that guy had where he had 3 different pics they look like the ones that are black with the amber reflectors....so can you buy those? or are they a DIY thing....cuz mine are like that but where the main head light is there is just metal and no plastic reflector and the lights are very dim and dont reach out at all...and i tried adjusting them and making them go up but that didnt help at all....so did who ever did these headlights just take out the plastic reflector or what?
