what color headlights

i just want your opinion on what color to do the inside of my headlights, i have a black lancer w/ a black grill, its lowered, gunmetal wheels,etc., just read my sig. and you'll see the discription of my car. i saw a friend of mine painted his headlight housings a flat back on a red 2000 civic si, and imho they look sweet, now i wanna do it. i was thinking a flat black but if you guys have any other opinions feel free to post your thoughts.


thanks,
pete

I would like to see more people color match the headlights, or even do contrasting colors, but for us black lancer owners, the best color to do IS black IMHO.

i previously bought a new pair of headlamps from a junkyard, for like 5 dollars a peice, and since my car is yellow i'm thinking about color matching them, since i ****ed up on my old headlamps, trying to black house them.

Just go with black especially on a black car. My car is thunder gray and I did black, looks great.

Stay with Black.

Mines yellow with gunmetal rims. And I did mine in gunmetal to match the rims. I think it looks pretty good. Ill try to post a pic later if you want.

instead of painting it just put "hello kitty" stickers on the inside of the head light to give it that extra show appeal.....

on a serious note i'd say go with black or just for something different, try gray or gunmetal or something that would look good with black, but not black. I personally think gunmetal might look amazing.
