i just blackhoused my headlights. what do you think?

so ive been planning to do this for a couple weeks but have just been to damn lazy to take off the bumper and go through the process. but finally got off my *** and did it and now i dont know if i like it or not. i took the orange piece inside the headlight out too. it looks ok i guess. tell me what you think? need some honest input.

yea i thought about painting the housing silver too but i kind of had a mental image of it and it made me thinking of american cars for some reason? maybe because of the new corvettes and how the inside of the headlights match the car. i think that looks a little cheap. but it was worth a thought.
