I would match them chrome with chrome, black with black. I don't think the black side markers and chrome halos would look good together.

Halo's are a gray area. Some guys dig em, some don't. Some mods are strictly forbidden as "rice patrol" and clear tail lights and big wings fall under this category. I wouldn't throw the halo's in the same group as this, but that's me.

Shoot, only reason I clicked on this thread is because I wanted to see some pics because I've been contemplating getting a set myself!!!

If you're defenetly getting Halos get the black, the chrome would look really odd...

If halos were real projectors, they'd be awesome. But the fact that they "look" like them but aren't... man! They look nice, but I think they're awkward when the ring is lit. From an angle, the halo looks "slanted" because the lens isn't flat like they are on Bimmers.

Anyway, for most cars, I think black looks better than chrome.

Get the Halos in BLACK. I had a silver camaro, black halo's and clear corners and it looked sick. Dont listen to these people calling it rice. They don't even know what it means. put a cam and stall in first? halo's are like $100. All that other stuff is expensive. Once you install these, you will wonder why you did not do it sooner.
