Question Blacked out headlight pics. here

I just blacked-out and cleared my headlights (with Tatawaki - Steve) a coulpe of days ago and put them on last night. I have the option to switch with steve for the same lights , cleared but not painted black. I am looking for opinions, I know the bumper is low, I have to adjust it up a little, it was dark last night when I finished so I figured I would do the adjustment today..
here are the pics

It looks good but I think you should of painted the reflective part of the blinker.

but then it would have nothing to relfect off, right? the other two lights still have the area around it reflective so the lights are still just as bright. I never considered painting that balck. I would have to see it done but wouldn't it look wierd with an amber bulb (white if you change it) on a black background - would it be bright enough??? Thanks for the positive comments, from you Mr. , i consider my self honored. You are this sites "Headlight King" so any constructive critism is appreciated.

Have a Great Long Weekend!!!!!!

btw that looks great! Now spray some water and soak up the front to see if they fog

we opted not to paint it because it'll make the parking light/turn signal very dim when lit

it looks nice but I'm not sure if I like it on a silver car. Kinda gives the car a black eye look. Just my opinion though. Looks like you did a good job on them though!

Looks very sweet... kind of like the 2003 CL's... good job. I'm not a fan of blacking out the blinker housing myself, so I like the way you did it!!
