daaaaamn the brushed aluminum looks tight. well about your question, what's the color of your car? i have that desert mist metellic and i would just leave mine as is.

 

[esCarbonie]

oh yea, my car is black...

to be honest, dont even paint them silver. the cl guys did it because there is orange in their headlights...ours is naturally clear so theres no need to paint it silver...its not even noticable since our headlights are already clear. if anything, go for black!

thats just my opinion but whatever the choice you make...post pics!

I say leave them if your car is any other color but silver or black. If silver then paint silver or if black then paint black.

if black then paint black.

Truthfully, my car is black and I painted my headlights black and I'm not feeling them too much. At night they look sweet but in the day it looks too black. I think they look way better black on a light colored car.

You actually tried to paint it? Do you have any pictures of it or are you referring to the JDM Spec TL Headlights?

Yup. I painted them. It came out perfect but it just looks a little too dark. They look just like the JDM lights. I think it would look alot better on a light colored car.

No not yet. Its been a while since I've painted them. I'll try to take pics this weekend. Ever since we've had this drought here in NYC its hard for me to keep my car clean enough for pics.

No way. They're still painted. Once they're painted you can only paint them a different color. You wont be able to get it off without ruining the chrome.
