Default New headlights.

The GP headlights are plastic so they fog up really quickly from road rash and grime. Anyways, I'm looking at replacing them and want clear corners or the black ones. They black ones aren't just blacked out, the reflective material on the insides is blackened, I believe. I'm not worried about functionality as much as cosmetics for these, so my question is:
Black vs. clear?

IMO: Black because the tails are so dark that the clear fronts would be a stark contrast and wouldn't really "go"

I can show you a shoop but I'm in a hurry so I just did a black paintbrush over the current headlights.

On pure looks, I'll vote for the black. Looks good against the white. Won't the California laws be difficult to overcome if you were to do the blackout?

Well, the lenses aren't black, and enforcement of that kind is lax in my area.

DO NOT paint your reflectors black. If you want that look, get projectors. No one will see you at night, and you wont see anything if you leave a built up area with lights.

If you live in cali, you wont pass inspection either.
