Hey guys, I'm torn between the black-housing style headlights (ie: black beauties) and clears. I really dig the smoked look, but I don't plan to go HID anytime soon and I drive at night frequently, so I'm going to keep it between clears or black-housing. What do you think would go best with my car? Also, post up some pictures of laser red cars with black beauties or clears if you got 'em

Here are a couple pictures of my car, cheers!

You could also do smoked with chrome wheels, but the above is essentially a good rule to follow with red cars.

Looking good guys, I went with the black beauties I think they have the clean look of the clears, but still have some smoked-like aggressiveness.

Dstang01, if you wanted to you could mask off the turn signals and paint the area that is white with 'krylon for plastic' in black. Clean it off with alcohol before spraying. I did this about 3 yrs. ago on mine, it still looks good.

That's a good idea, I'm also going to run a bead of silicone along the seals just in case. The only downfall is the black beauties were much more expensive than the rest... I hope they last. I'm also planning to ditch these ****ty wheels at some point and go with '03 cobras, so I figure they'll match the headlights nicely.
