Which color housing should i go with?

After seeing the fist black headlight housing i am thinking about having it done to my car. But i cant decide if i want to go with black or white for the housing color. Can i get some votes for each one?

black is hot, adds depth. white on white, imo, washes out the headlights.

Black It Is I Guess...i Have Seen A Couple Of The New Corvettes Out In White And The White Housing Looks Sexy On Them..but I Guess Thats Only For A Vette Or A Ferrari...black On White Will Probably Look Best For The 07 Sedan

black on the white may cheapen the look of the front end IMO....the reflective finish in there, as far as i can tell from the photo, looks great against the white. the black headlights looked good on that other 07 sedan because it was black....black headlights on white will completely ruin the nice flow of the front end IMO

On a white car go black... white would look odd... I have DG and might cosider body match. But not for white car.

Black. But, not how you chopped it. If you were to take the assembly apart and paint the insides black, that would look sick. Then you get deep black tint, black rotors, and black rims with a chrome lip.

Then you have a nice car!

I've seen those color-matched vettes and they look hot... yellow or red they kind of flow with the car.

But in your case, if you get some real nice dark tints and paint them black, it would be ba-na-nas... hotter than hot IMO

I have a pretty good amount of pics of mine, so you should be able to get someone to photoshop them unto your car.

i think with IP you should leave the housing as is. looks very classy. if you were hell-bent on doing it though, i'd choose black.
