It would look good on silver. You can always do like a dark grey like gunmetal. Which ever color you do you should match the grille.

So I'm thinking about doing this with my headlights, but I'm trying to decide between painting the headlight housing, and putting on cutout tint covers. Which one do you guys suggest, and how much does it cost to paint the headlight housing?
