Photoshop (nameless) and Opinions on what to do with headlights

Like the title says..I need namesless to assist with some photoshop on my headlights..I will be having them painted...

I wanted to get an opinion from everyone on what to do..

I am considering on painted the inner parts of my headlights black but the outside the factory color....

My other option was to paint part of the headlights outlining the area around on the seem that shows black....but I dont know how that would look...








outline: the idea



Painted insides:the idea

I love your lights...You keep having different ideas to change them! haha...Did you plan on doing a quad projector while you have them apart to paint? That would look sick with another projector with leds like you have the top!

Here is what it looks like painted black on the inside, colormatched on the outside, and chrome bezel.

I like the inside painted but I dont know how it would flow on my car...SxExCx has more of the black theme on the front of his car to pull...i.e. black painted grille and painted nismo vents....so it looks alot better...my car doesnt have really anything on the front....that is why I may actually keep it the same color..i wanted to see it chopped though....give me a better visual
