i believe Corvette color match their housing as the same as their body color car.

: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.

Thanks man. I'm kind of keeping to a red/black theme too but in a slightly different way than you, so for me redhousing falls in line with it. You could pull it off.

ohhh red housing i wanna see....

Almost done...will have photos up when I get it lowered and get my new wheels on!

Interesting people are mentioning the C6 headlights...that's what inspired me to paint mine body color.

Just realized I may be threadjacking, sorry.

I don't personally think our headlight design lends itself well to color matching. When the housing closely follows the bodylines, it can look great. We have two headlight buckets and a deep sunk blinker bulb.

Anyway, you can just try it by investing about $20 at local paint supply place. The just see for yourself. If you don't like it, $5 more and they are black.

Hmm.. DEP VC, what next for me.. DEP-housing lights??....




:eusa_drool:

if you do it i will help!

i dont think the silver would look that bad actually. i almost done that my self but mine was red, i seen another online that had it and i liked the way it looked. paint it silver, if you dont like then redo it black, simple as that.
