Default colored headlight

Just wanted to see what everyone thinks. I was bored and saw a lot of people paint their headlights black no matter what color the car is, so I decided to paint them the color of my car. I just finished so it is night time. Daylight will tell if i keep it or not.

thanks guys, but like i said i am going to wait till i can see it in the daylight before i decide to keep it or do it whistler style. And i agree that it wouldnt work on every color car for sure. Ill see if i can snap some photos in the daylight, im hoping i matched the color well.

Ill get some more pics once i get home, so far with the daylight on it, she still looks good. I searched for about 2-3 days trying to find someone else that painted em white but came up with nothing, thats why I did it. Plus its easy enough to paint it black if it didnt turn out right lol.

Looks like you did a good job.
I think that it clashes with your black SLP grill.

Let's get some more pictures.
