On a black coupe yes, on any other color no.

I always wondered how white housing would look on an IP

I do like that, but I voted something different. Was thinking maybe if you left the strip chrome also... If not, the way you have it is hot

It looks great on black cars, but I no likes on other color cars. I do like the paint matched lights on the other color cars.

I've always liked our silver headlight housings; provides some contrast to the front end especially since you left your Mt Fuji chrome. I know I'm in the minority though, but I would never paint my headlights.
