I think those would look good on a black car, but whistler might look better on your car

The Halos will look a lot better on your car than the blackouts. I think the 'whistler' painted headlights look the best. If you haven't gotten anything by next spring I'll show you the headlights on my car if I see you driving around.

You can get some PlastiX or something like that from Autozone and apply that and try to rub the etching out. I think there is a sticky about this.

You can transfer the lenses from the Halos over to your stock headlights... Just follow the "Whistler" procedure for removing them and putting them back on...
