Default Clear, or blackhousing headlights?

This is the best shot I have from the front (not a recent pic).



Have only found one green 6th Gen Accord with blackhousing.







Clearing the headlights would basically just involve removing the yellow strip at the bottom of the headlights. No pics, though.

Which do you think would look the best? I finally have a Friday off, and have short shifts at work this weekend. Should have enough time to work on my headlights.

Depends on what you like. I like clear with some color cars, but the black looks great on others.

Only been able to find one person with modified housing on a green Accord. That car is pictured above. Kind of leaning towards black, but wanted to see what people on H-T thought before I start buying what I need.

A friend of mine recommended getting eyebrows, then doing the blackhousing. Even that might look decent.

There is a black Accord coupe in my school parking lot every day that looks AWESOME with black housing headlamps. It's gotta be one of the cleanest modified cars in my town, just because everyone else has ricer crap all over their cars.

I'll try to get some pics of it when I go to school tomorrow.

Edit: just realised you said you were having trouble finding green Accords, I thought you'd said any Accords with black housings.

I saw clear it, black housing doesn't look good on green cars imo.
