    Hey guys,
    Just wondering what you would do if you were me.
    I just finished up a set of headlights a little while ago and painted the shrouds white to colormatch my truck.

    BUT im going to do an FXR retrofit and wonder if i should color match it or black out everything.

    Probably will look like this.

    With black turn signals..

    Im digging his whole front end................Even my GF said it was nice looking. Which allows me to spend more cash on my truck. I found a local left light tonight on craigslist with just the fender tab(not needed) broke from a 2010. Dude works at a dealership nearby.............can someone say hookup! he want 20 bux for it. Lens is mint he said.:D

    Im thinking something like this but with my indigo blue:cool:
    looks sick

    I like them both but the white is a little bit more flashy and you can't go wrong with blacking them out. It all depends on what look your going for.

    I'm going to go with white bezels and keep the headlight reflector bowl and shrouds chrome. Going to keep the same look I have now.
