Black. When you start getting into the more vibrant colors like the hues of red, orange, and green, etc, it looks like crap IMO. It works on simpler colors like pewter, silver, black, and white. Too much color just doesn't belong inside those headlights, so I'd suggest keeping it simple with black.

I think you should go with body color.. Its different and I think it looks alot better on the brighter colored vehichles rather than silver or peweter.. Because on silver and pewter the change from chrome to body color doesnt make a huge difference.. But from chrome to red it would make a huge difference and IMO look badass!

Do the body color, if you dont like it you can always paint over. I thin it would be cool and give it the c6 vette look.
