    I've seen BlueHLM and WhiteHLM that look good, but I don't know about red. I think black would look better. But I've never seen RedHLM - maybe it would look better than I think. Give it a shot. You can always re-do it if doesn't look good.

    Yea, I'm a big fan of the color match headlights. :)

    Like Nike says...... Just Do It!

    If you don't like it you can always change it, but I don't think you will be disappointed.

    I like it on an X-Runner but I don't like it on a Prerunner or 4x4.

    So for the turn signal and side marker do you just leave off the reflector in order to have it not orange?

    Its your call. You can always leave the side marker off, or you can spray it black w/ nightshades or a matte black. For the dtrl's, I simply left that off. Some earlier models came w/ a clear lense, however, mine had the yellowish tint, which is why I chose to leave it off. (I also sprayed that reflector blue, as you would w/ the normal bhlm)

    IMO its ugly as hell. Do black, you'll be happy with it. Red just stands out and looks wierd. Personally, I think the BHLM makes the headlights stand out less, and thats why it looks better.

    Horrible picture, looks much better in person. Glad I did it.
