Clearing Headlights - What Color?

As the title states, I am clearing my headlights and plan on painting them as well.
I was thinking about going body color (Monterey Blue Pearl) or black.

I have the black mesh grill (which I plan on keeping that way) and dark Rockblocker tail light tint (which I plan on replacing with 02-03 tails).

Please vote which one and if other, post what color.

Yea, I wasn't going to do the whole housing, but just some of it and leave the rest chrome to accent with the chrome around the front grill.

^^ Actually, I found someone in town that knows how to do it. He said he has done 3 sets of Subaru lights which require baking too. All I have to do is supply all the parts and some beer to drink while we're dong it plus a little cash.

I have an MBP and my curiousity wants to see that.

With your grill, I might opt for the 'JDM' style headlights on ebay. Or do something similar with yours

I was looking at those at first, but I decided to try and do them myself. Even if I do black, they will probably end up looking different than the ones on eBay.



What does everyone think about the diffuser? Should I just take it out completely b/c I was thinking about getting the switchback LEDs pictured here. It might take some modification to get the light to fit, but while I have the headlights apart for everything, it will make it easier.
