As long as there is plenty of light its probably tinted. Leds shine bright enough for that.

Everyone has an LS460. Tell us more about that Chevy.

Default Sorry about delay

The lexus I painted the chrome with plasti dip myself. Turned out great and durable. It comes off easy too if I change my mind.

The 7 series is what made me do the black. I had wanted to do it since I purchased the lexus. I saw a new 7 series mad pulled up next to it. Took a photo and it confirmed I wanted it blacked out. But still wanted chrome wheels to give it contrast. You would be surprised how many people can't figure out what it is.

The wheels are 20 in Giovanna martuni style. The chrome is what I have and was discontinued and can be purchased on eBay pretty cheap brand new.

The black one behind the lexus is a 1966 riviera ,the black one on the other side is a 1950 olds rocket 88, and the blue one is a 1969 Mach 1. The Mach I worked on with my dad when I was 14/15 and was the car I drove 20 years ago when I turned 16. It was an inexpensive car back then.
There are a few more. 1956 ford fairlane, 1955 chevy hotrod, 61 bubble top Pontiac bonneville, 67 Pontiac tempest convertible , 1952 ford f1, and a 40 ford deluxe 2 door
My father died a few years at 67 and purchased all the cars prior to my birth in 1978. He wasn't a rich man but he left some cool stuff to carry on his dream. I love them all. I actually drive them and dad wasnt joking when he said they are bottomless pits to throw money at! But it's worth it to carry on his hobby

Heck181,
Have you considered spraying the glossifier Plasti dip to make it more gloss black? Similar to BMW's shadowline trim

I dig the black but the blacked out chrome trim around the windows ,to me , makes the car look cheaper.

You should paint the inside of the headlights black I think it would look sick. I think you can find a place to do it for under $500 maybe half of that.

As expensive as these headlights are with the motors and such, taking apart and baking and all that to break the seal is risky business...unless someone got some housings from a junkyard and come up with a spare set to try it on just in case something get messed up
