Hey guys. Many of you have probably seen my thread about hitting the deer. I decided I'm gonna order a set of these instead of going OEM: https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...lights-v2.html

What I need is some advice on what color (black vs chrome) would look better on my Lakeshore Slate with blacked out grill

I know it's tough considering only one member has them so far but all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

 

I would go with black. Just my two cents...

 

black

 

I would not purchase these over OEM headlamps.

 

^yeah but thats not what he is asking. lol

black all day long. will look awesome

 

they look really good compaired to the first ones that came out, i would go with black glad to see ur car is repairable

 

Black, but oem would be much better imo

 

Imo, it depends on your grill. If it's still all chrome I think the silver would match more. But if the grill is blacked out the black would look better. Good luck.

 

OEM would be choice #1...then the ones you posted in black as a distant second.

 

+1^^^

 

Black all day long

 

'06 OE Projectors would be my first choice but if you gotta waste your $$ go with the black....

If you really want black, I'd highly suggest OEM 06+ projectors. Then you can just custom paint the parts you want black. You can even do the projector color mod to make the lights even sweeter. I've seen tons of these replica headlights on cars and their light output is half that of OEM projectors.

BTW, I'm in Charlotte too and I've come close to hitting several deer in my previous cars. Don't risk hitting another one of those things w/ less light output!!!

 

Agreed. I don't think most people realize how important it is to have quality optics, especially with HID headlights.

 

can any1 explain to me why when i have the lights on off , only one of my daylight lights open then when turn it on , they both work , its like one of the bulbs is burnt but then when i put it on auto the one that wont light up works but they should both work on off or when ever
