From far away, it looks like you have smoked lenses. I think you should go back to chrome.

Yoo Jmai that black looks nice, but like 93Lexo said it looks like you have smoke lenes. I think the all chrome or clear head lights look better, but go with what you feel bro. its your car. Make your self happy

Jmai22 is just worried about the light output. It seems as though the black is eating up some light...

its not eating up any light. its actually helping my cutoff line and its sharper because there is no light bouncing off the chrome and causing unwanted light above the cutoff line. i painted black in the first place to get rid of some glare i was getting. and it totally cured it. now i'm painting back to chrome because i think it looks more luxuirious
