i have a red vic with black housed projections, and it looks really nice. It depends on your color scheme; you could go with a white and clear/chrome, or white/black.

i dont know, although blacked out looks sic (i have blacked out oem) on your car since you got no other black accents i think just cleared would look nice.

unless there's other black accents on your car, i would go for the clear ones. Black on a black car would be sweet, but black lights on a white car might be a bit too much. But, it's your car & your own style

There is a member on this site who painted it the color of his car and it looks really nice, I will find the member name for you, but if you could get white to match your car it might look good, otherwise just black fo sho

If I can make a different suggestion, get black chrome. It has the chrome shininess, but it's black. Looks really nice. Again, like everybody is saying, it all depends on what fits the scheme of your car. If the headlights are starting a scheme for you, I'd go for the black chrome.
