Silverhousing headlights

[Ryan]

So, I know most people black house their lights. I've seen a few red housings to match the car. But has anyone done silver housings on a silver car? If so how does it look? Highly considering it. Sounds like a good idea

I think it'll look good.

I say go for it, be different.

The worst thing can happen is not turning out the way you want it to be, but you can always repaint it to black.

Do it, be different Make sure to show us the results if you go forward with it.

I recall seeing someone on the site that red-housed his headlights. Different, but still a good look.

hmmm. I wonder if you would notice as much a difference. Chrome in a sense is already silver, but I guess it would be more of a matte silver to match the car. keep in mind you could get creative with it too. I paint matched my reflector strips. another thing you could do i black house the headlights the way people normally do it, and then for the back chrome parts color match the silver and put a high gloss on it, so in theory it would reflect. just googled white house headlights and saw some a cool white cg, but prolly wouldn't work with white on silver

Mmm white doesn't look too bad..

I'm not a fan of the look, but try it- maybe it will look good.

 

[RedRyder]

Definitely try it out.
