Headlights: Yay or Nay!

just looks off because you've done nothing else to the car. Get some wheels, black the emblems, diffuser, etc.

I went through the same thing on my PW car. It looked a bit off to me because everything else on the car was stock at the time. I eventually got black wheels, emblems, and door handles and now I love the look. By the way, I prefer the all black housing instead of color matching the projector surround. Looks mean

If you are taking apart the head light...might as well add Morimoto white led halos as well. Looks so sick driving down the street...downside is that it catches a lot of attention.

How is your vison and light projection at night with them darkened? I love the look but my old eyes need to see too.

I'd have to agree with everyone suggesting more dark parts (fangs, vinyl roof, wheels, ect.) what's nice about lighter cars is the contrast pops and turns it into a real neck breaker. However don't go crazy with plasti dip it'll make it look cheap in my opinion. Looks great regardless
