Chrome gets my vote. It seems classier and it fits your chrome grille better.

I'd also like to mention that the black housings look too similar to the halo projector headlights you'd find on eBay.

Cant get a true view of the black ones unless you get a front shot because any other angle than from front, you cant see them.

I was thinking the same thing, however I came to a conclusion that its not so much the black, but the look of the M45's. They have a similar shroud to the ebay ones.


Omar: Not sure if they're painted flat black but if they are, it would probably be better if they were glossy black

yea i was thinking they looked like the Ebay ones as well but it is cuz they are the M45. I think a glossy black maybe where i go with the LS430 projectors. Im about to sell the M45 retrofit once i put the ls430 in

It does look good with the Green Tint. The M45 bezel has a green glow to it and it is amplified by the green tint bezel

I dunno normally i'd always prefer the black housings, but the chrome's are looking cleaner from the pics.. I think like thomas mentioned the black ones look sorta like aftermarket ebay headlight housings...
