what should I do???

I am trying to decide if I should clear my headlights or clear/black them out.

I have a 2003 NBP TL, what do you guys think would look best?

thats what i was thinking i just wanted to hear other opinions....but before i actually do anything i need to get an extra set of headlights.

As of right now I am high bidder on a driver side housing. i need to find a passenger side. anyone know where i could fine one real cheap?

Shiffy,

Order some NBP paint from www.towerpaint.com It'll look sweet if they are painted the same color as your car. Make sure you order clear coat as well.

I'm doing mine in Satin Silver once I get around to it.

if you want to see the difference between a TL with and TL with out the black headlights check here:

www.cardomain.com/id/residualfreedom

I know it is a 99' TL but I have done a photo edit job switching the headlights on my silver TL and Tatewaki's Black TL. SO you can see a black TL with clearlights (the way they are now) and the after pic with the black headlights on the black TL (we will be switching our headlights this friday, I just edited the second pic to see what it would look like after the switch) Hope this helps you, I would recomend painting your lights black it looks great on a black TL. Remember to use a FLAT HIGH TEMP Bar-b-q paint.

IMO, clearing the headlights out looks better than " blacking " them out. For me, I like to see the sunlight glisten off the headlight housing just like it does the rest of the chrome trim. i think it looks MUCH better that way......
