Colormatched headlight housings

So far, I can only remember seeing them in Obsidian Black and IP/MW... obviously.

Are there any other G's out there with colormatched headlight housings?

I'm thinking of going this route.

I'm not too fond of the full color matched housing look. I think you will be the first to do it with AG if you decide to choose this route. Look up TJHG37S.. He has a VR with color matched housing.

It looks good on non-black colors if you mix it with another color. Like stoof's VR/CF headlights...I think that would look good on yours myk (obv not VR, just that kind of mix)

I think it would come out good if you colormatch everything (housing, shroud,reflector). Not a fan of the match housing/chrome shroud combo like TJHG did.

I still prefer basic black housing (gloss or flat) with colormatched shroud... Call me boring. Lol

I never liked the color-matched housing. Even on corvettes, it looks odd.

That actually looks good, but not every color can pull off the color matched shroud.
