I've seen a few cars with color-matched headlights and it can look really good. I think the main problem is that a silver car would in fact look a lot like the chrome, and people wouldn't even notice it :p. But I must say, we need some members on here with DEP headlights... that could look nice!

Sweagle paint them the color of your exterior, there will be a subtle visible difference and it won't look like the chrome. It doesn't matter if people don't really notice, when you point it out they'll be like OHHHH :seewhatyoudid: I think it would look sweet.

I'm currently redhousing mine. Good luck!

Redhousing should look really sweet!!^^

Also, chrome is not 'rice' as some of you said. Think about it - our lights come chrome stock :lolrun:.

I know what you mean bro but redhousing is much more different that silverhousing. It'll stand out more. I think blackhousing would look better on mine now that I think about it, it will look nicer and offset the silver better than silver + silver.

:drool: That will look sooo tight on your car, I can see it in my mind now. Too bad I'm doing a red/black theme so I can't redhouse.
