Pics of black housing headlights
Im not sure whether to get black housing headlights or leave them chrome when I do my conversion with clear lenses.
I have a black SC with an Autocouture Kit, so will it be too black?
Opinions? Can anyone find pictures?

Im worried it will look too dark during the day. I HATE those tinted headlights.

leave them chrome, add a little pop to the black.

They look good with black housings, but I would leave them chrome. I also have a black SC, but I left mine chrome too.

Mine are painted black OEM lights. I kinda wish I didnt paint them because once other outside lens starts getting sun damaged you can really see it with the black

^, just a little bit of elbow grease and some abrasive compounds will do the trick. Mine were terrible when I first got the car, it's much better now.

Ya, mine are stock lights...well..actually..they're Soarer headlights, but still, Mine were done by the previous owner, he didn't bother to clean the lens tho.
So I'm planning to bake them at springtime to remove the lens and probably try to deline them around the projector and possibly do a tsx retrofit.
