Silver Civic vs Black TYC head lights


hey guys and girls i have a dilemma, i have a 2001 honda civic but its silver with black tent on the windows. I also have a set of Motegi FF5 17 inch wheels with Nitto Neo Gen Tires. The Rims are also a silver finish. I havnt put the wheels on the car yet because i wanted to after the winter so they wouldnt get messed up to bad. Now heres the question my friend has a set of HALO headlights on his silver civic and there clear/chrome i like the look very much but our cars are starting to look alike. I kinda wanted to do something to seperate my car from his so they wouldnt be extacly thats why im considering getting Blacked out headlights instead of the silver/chrome which i really wanted. The only problem is i dont know how its going to look and im not one for adding parts on my car that look out of place i want everything to gel together and look nice and clean without the over the top ricer or bad car tuner style. If you all say that i should get the blacked out headlights i guess i will have to sale my Motegi wheels and get some Racing Hart wheels which are black i with a Silver trim so that my headlights dont look out of place. thanks guys and girls any help is greatly appreciated

TYC's are sealed very well. I never had to reseal mine. I've had them for about 8 months.

The bulbs in your stock headlights won't fit in the projectors. The projectors use H1 bulbs. All the bulbs you need come with the projectors.
