New Idea for Headlights???

I just recently traded in my 06 NBP TL for a 06 RBP TL w/ Navi. I had blacked out my headlights and it looked great, but on a RBP I didnt know what to do. Neither the blacked out look or the cleared looked seemed to satisfy my taste. I then started thinking, what if I colormatched the headlights to the color of my car. I have constantly seen in the past people blacking out or clearing out their headlights, but colormatching I havent seen yet. (Then again it could have already been done in case which this whole thread is a waste). So I took the liberty of I guess what is called in simple terms, "blue"ing out my headlights to colormatch my car. I must say the look is awesome much similar to that of the blacked out headlights on a black car. It might pose a solution to those who have a red or blue TL. As soon as I can I will post some pictures of them and everyone can tell me what they think.

seen that car in person too. looks good; his grille looks ok with the RJ wheels. when he had the black wheels on, that grille definitely should be red to match.

Well I figured it had been done before, never get the chance to do something no one else has done before but Ill keep working on it. The colormatched headlights look sick on the red TL. I will keep my promise and post some pics for the RBP TL owners just in case they wanted to colormatch there's. I highly recommend it. Also I am thinking about painting my grill to color match my car, when I post some pics please let me know what you would do. I dont want to do it and it turn out looking bad. Anyone with a RBP TL done this yet, if so plz post some pics. Oh and to Ac_Attack I am originally from the Little Rock area and go down there quite often. I am technically living in Fayetteville right now going to the University of Arkansas ( couldnt get enough of D-Mac).

Thought about it, but because of the high heat that they produce, I just wasnt sure that was a good idea.
