I'm getting my headlamp done this weekend at Rego Sport. Need a suggestion.
Should I black out the headlamp or just clear it as is? Color of my TL is Royal Blue. What would you prefer? Or any other suggestion?

Thanks!

you have rims on your car? what color rims? is your car tinted? what color interior?

if you go with dark rims, have a dark interior, tint, or have/plan to go with black tail lights, etc go with black IMO, however both look good

good luck

I have rims, (silver finished), window is tinted medium dark and the interior is quartz.

yes I'm kinda debating. Black out look very clean and matches the exterior of the car but if it was just clear out, then the headlamp would stand out more. Hmm....still debating.....................

I vote clear!

yea it completely depends on the trimmings on your car. if everything is clean and light, go clear, if you have tints, and shades...go black...in the end...it's totally up to you...we support you either way

With silver wheels, I vote for clear!

i'll be clearing my lights this fall...too damn hot out right now...i've been debating between blacking out or leaving clear as well...i have an SSM with quartz interior, 35% tint all around and plan on getting silver rims...i'm leaning towards leaving it clear as i think it would go better w/ my colors...i vote to leave yours clear as well...

black it out. i cleared mine and it got old about three days after i did it. i then began to hate the way it looked and finally got around to opening them back up and blacking them out. i'm so much happier that i blacked them out. dont clear them

I think black, but keep the sides clear for the corner lights. I think ding069 did that. See this thread: New style blacked out and cleared headlamps

Please update us with pictures when you have them done! Good luck!

DFBRL8R

Yes....I like that. Black but clear corners

thanks for the reference, but I say paint em blue (if your car is blue).
I'm all for blackouts, but I saw more beauty in the chrome. they reflect a lot of black too

Im afraid if I were to paint the housing blue then the out put of the light wont be that bright.....That is the other reason why if i should black them out too. I'm more concern of the output.

subinf

I havent noticed much, if any, of a difference from when I had the lights cleared and when I blacked them out.

Subinf: so you say it won't effect much whether I black it out right?

ding069

no diff at all. the chrome you end up painting is not used in any kind of light reflection whatsoever. if you paint your corner reflector, your corner light output will decrease though.

If your gonna black it out do it like ding069:










But i say go completely cleared! i think it looks better in so cal
