Default Painted 6th gen headlights?

I am wondering if anyone on here has every tried to paint their headlights black on the 6th gen accord. I am planning on doing it but I just want to see how it would look.

not to be mean, but i think it's much more function if you left the side signal reflectior alone

Yea but when you buy the ebay ones they dont have the amber and majority of them already come with blacked corners. You have to ask to make sure the set you get are CLEAR corners and not black. Ive gone through the hassle.

Mine are OEM painted black and same as his above but I left my corners clear so my car doesnt look like it got knocked out.



Im the Heather Mist Accord.
