alright i retrofitted Benz E55 Projectors into OEM blacked out headlights with custom made shroud. Heres my dilemma. I can either leave the headlights blacked out just how they are now (kinda ugly to me, PICS BELOW). or i can paint the Whole headlight (including the chrome piece/amber piece) all black. OR i can paint the whole headlight to match the colour of my car with the kamelion flake inside.

Here is how my car looks right now with TYC chrome projectors which are coming OFF and replaced with my retrofit.



Here is a pic of the e55 inside the black housing, this is how they look now. (ugly). I want to paint the whole headlight to match my paint or black it out completely. what should i do?






so what you guys tnihk. Keep it like this? Black it out completely (including chrome piece and amber piece). or match it to the colour of my car.?

also if you paint the signal part black, it wont be very bright.

hmm i say all black would be better. color matching never works and it always doesnt flow well anyway.

colour match the car, it'll go well with your "styling"

remove amber piece, may throw your look off.

Just my personal opinion. When you paint parts the same color as your car, it kind of makes everything blend together and you get to much of it. I like to have the color scheme broken up a little bit.
Like gear said it just doesnt really flow well.

Dude I'd get your headlight off of those steps A.S.A.P. It looks like Spiderman may steal your retro-fit!
