Forgive me for the dumb question... I'm trying to plan out my Retrofit HID headlights, and I see that most people who do retrofits also do the black headlight mod. Is this just an aesthetic thing, or is there more reasoning to do this? I'm just wondering if the HIDs would still reflect off of the stock chrome housings and create glare for other drivers.
I'm planning on going with The Retrofit Source complete kit, with shrouds. I also plan on using the Depo headlights with black bezels ([ame]http://www.amazon.com/Depo-312-1186P-US2-Toyota-Tacoma-Headlight/dp/B005XRPNYI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397869199&sr=8-1&keywords=tacoma+depo+headlights[/ame]). I'd prefer not to black out the housings, mainly because my painting skills still need work, and I only want to rip apart a headlight once. :rolleyez:
I guess my question is, why do people black out the headlights along with retrofits, instead of leaving them chrome? I suppose this could also be an unofficial poll.
I did a quick search and didn't find anything, although I could be overlooking the answer. :dontknow:
