I was wondering about the same thing. I would love to see if anybody painted their shrouds and strip black but left the rest of the housing chrome. Pictures please....

Did my headlights yesterday. Decided to go flat black with gloss black surrounds. The shadow paint stuff I got to try and tint the chrome looked like ***. Haha so I decided to just go with flat black with gloss black surrounds. Came out very nice and with the help of the diy thread was pretty straight forward. I'm happy with the results and below are some pictures of the results. The LEDs are very bright and almost looks like my headlights are on in one of the pics!
