Well they are silver on the inside where you would have painted them black if you were doing the wistler mod. I am not talking about the reflector, I am talking about the groves that are silver in the black halos.

Like this
Black Halo:


Here is a chop I did of what it might look like:

Looks a little odd to me. Makes it look less like a Halo and more like a stock light with a cover on it.

Halo's already take away from the light consistency. If you did that, you would take away even more lighting... Do what ya want I guess.

I wasn't being redundant at all. I was pointing out the fact that you would be defeating the purpose of the intended "look" of Halos if you emphasize the contours of the stock housing underneath by painting them. Unless, of course, that's your intention. I had a girlfriend once who got contact lenses so she wouldn't have to wear glasses… then I caught her buying a couple pairs of "fashion" glasses to wear just because she liked the look. I didn't understand her either…

I've seen that done on cars with custom candy colors, looked pretty good. At least in pics, I still ONLY like Halos in pics, in person I think they look like a horrible afterthought...

I don't even care whether or not the lights shine good or not. Its a track only car. Also I have LED bulbs so they just shine strait forward like a LED flashlight and don't need a reflector I know the LEDs are not going to do much good for driving on the street, but I just wanted them for the 6000K color at night.

I think I like the stock with Whistler myself though. I don't know I guess I like them both.
