Headlights-Inside Chrome or Inside Black

I am pursuing buying and UP GRADING my lighting situation. In the U.P. of MI the darkness is UNBELIEVABLE.

So my question is this-" are chrome internals brighter or are the black internals no different. I guess you can guess which one's I would like? BLAAAACK!

Share your experience! My truck is a 2009 access cab. I have newer starter(3-4 months old), and same with my interstate battery.

It’s all in the bulbs, hit the search feature in here and search headlight bulbs
There is an awesome article on here about that
Black or chrome. Yes I like black also, I personally see no difference in the housings
I use projector headlights and love them they are very bright but $$$

here is that link

Thanks, I have been reading and WOW! complicated, but I'll study for sure.
I just don't want to throw bulbs in there and I am concerned with burning my lenses.

 

You have projectors, so black does not make a difference. An OEM housing uses the reflectors with halogens. Not sure I would paint reflectors black when they're supposed to be chrome.

 

Good point sir

This

output would be significantly reduced.

 

Thanks

 

They have OEM housings that have chrome reflectors but a black surround, which IMO looks better than the all chrome. I believe that's what he means in reference to the black? could be wrong though.

Personally OP I'd go black housing every time, always looks cleaner to me than full chrome. Light output will be the same since they have the same reflectors. If you move to projectors you can go even more black, since as stated it won't matter.
