Headlight Color Recommendation

I have a magnetic black, and I feel the same way. at first I really liked the look of the black housing and white or stock shrouds to pop out.

but with a darker color, the stock does make the lines of the headlight pop.

I was considering a flat white and dark grey shrouds, flat white for the housing should make it look very clean.

If I had black it would be much easier for me to decide. I like the blacked out look and would go flat black with gunmetal grey shrouds.

I have most of my car cherried out -- color matched handles, color matched powdercoated wheels, black cherry plastidipped emblems. However my fangs and rear valance are dipped black to have them stand out against the color of the car.

I suppose I could attempt some Photoshopping to get an idea

I just got these done and they are exactly how you said here but my car is gunmetal.
I went with gray to color match my car. ask cooltoy to photoshop for you, he is very helpful
Imo you should make the shrouds black cherry

Those look damn good on your car! So maybe get the housings flat black but the shrouds black cherry? That's an idea!

Yeah, maybe. I would love to color match the reflectors as well, but hesitate since it's technically illegal.
