black on black headlights??? Need Help!

ftwayne370z · 04-15-2010, 02:42 PM

So i have a black Z and am going to do the LED headlight mod very soon. Have the supplies ordered and ready to go but need some quick suggestions. I have been looking around for pictures but cant seem to find any but I am thinking of painting the housings black to match the car while leaving the rings inside silver. What are your opinions on the color? Should I paint it black or leave it chrome and just do the LED's? Any pictures with black headlights would be a huge help too! Thanks guys!

I would leave the rings silver and not do any LEDs... but that's me... The whole LED thing is getting a little too played out.

Thanks for the suggestions guys and the possible pics! Found FuPaXxTyTy's pics of his head lights and that's kind of a cool idea too. He left the chrome on the outside of the headlights alone and just painted the center black. Don't like the orange parts on his but I'd leave those silver anyways.

shabarivas · 04-15-2010, 05:11 PM

^ hey where did you see that grey one? I am trying to remember where I saw it...

bullitt5897 · 04-15-2010, 07:37 PM

If you do a black housing go with darker shrouds... Trust me light color shrouds make your car look like it's on crack!!! Lol it's wierd looking but eye catching too
