I am getting my car ready to get back on the road, so in the mean time i have a couple projects going.

One is the headlights. I need opinions. Painted bezels (red) or stock look. Keep in mind, i obviously have a red car, the halos on my projectors are red, and I am back lighting the projector lenses with red led's.

Let me know...

Off topic - I got a shot in my eye today. It was great...

in this case, i like just the chrome look. otherwise there seems to be too much red.

I have to agree, not all cars look good with the color matched bezels.

The way my car is now (dark tint and stealies) i would paint them black. But i think i am going to keep them stock for now. Im not sure where the direction of my car is going (flashy or performance). Also want to paint the car... so i guess my next step is to figure out what i am doing with the whole car.

black or red, not chrome, just doesnt look right with that color. I like how the hood flows into the bumper when its painted.

im thinking 1 is already red b/c ur pics show the left headlight red and the left one chrome....
im assuming ur down to black/red as choices, please paint them black, the red looks horribly out of place

I have a couple sets of headlights. One set is red, not the same color (it is a red base on transparent candy red) and the other set is just stock.

I was also thinking about blacking out the entire headlight, using leds for running and turns. Basically flat black the whole thing but the high beam space be that will need to be reflective.

Black bezel with red Alero is nice. Couple of guys on here have them.
