Depends on the theme you want.

Personally, I think the black housings look good on a silver car. Gives a good contrast.

all depends on which will fit with the car better. if you're going for a nice clean look, chrome rims, emblems, etc... than the chrome housing would look really good.

where as if you're going with black accents, rims, emblems, etc... than the black housings would look good.like Sparky said, it'll give it some nice contrast.

its all about making the car look good as a whole. with everything working together

I personally like the understated look, and with a silver car, I'd go chrome, and then try and do a light hyper-silver look to it to have them almost blend into the car. It's similar to the c6's that have body color lights.

I also am sebring silver, just purchased a pair of the black housing ones. My car has the black top, and aside from the headlights I'm also going to paint the berger panel black. But I don't do black wheels, so they're definitely going to be chrome. I think it'll be sharp.

You can buy the sonars, take them apart, take the rings out and the LEDs, voila!
