Thanks for the input. So you think a flat black around the top and reflective. around curves?

Yeah, I knew not everyone would be a fan of this, but I have always liked the look. i valet a lot of cars that have them, love it. But I would rather it be inside the housing.

That would work fine. I don't mind painted housings, I just didn't want you to paint something you shouldn't and then wonder why you can't see at night anymore. I agree that the painted housings look better than the all chrome ones.
