Yes, I am going to paint the inside black. I am fabbing up a trim piece to go in the inside at the moment (I have to recut the piece because I'm slightly off on my first try, it will be perfect 2nd go round cause now I have a guide). Basically just the outer trim will be chrome, rest will be black. What do the depo black housing ones look like anyhow? I am working on depos...but they're the stock looking chrome ones obviously.

Yeah, black housings will be waaaaaaaaaaaaay easier. But anyone can get those. There are hardly no projectors on any 2nd gen neon or SRT. I'm not even sure if anyone makes projectors for the 2nd gen/srt anymore either. I know there are some, but when it comes to numbers there aren't many. I am sort of a lighting freak to some extent. My car stands out, it turns heads because of how it looks (in a good way). I had someone ask today what it was....lol. They couldn't tell apparently. I told em it was a neon and they said it looked damn good. Blocks...have you see new BMW's? Audis? Porsche? Mercedes? They all have projectors. They're the cars you see in the distance coming at you with the blue lights. The pattern from projectors is so much clearer and evenly spread then from halogen lights. Then there is people who put those 10,000k halogen bulbs in there car to attain an "hid" look but in reality they just cut the amount of useable light down. And yes, I am one of those people who put bulbs in their car that are hid like. However mine are fairly bright. Mine are supposed to be 7000k, but aren't incredibly blue. My projectors will blow them out of the water though. Bezels are here now so that headlight tomorrow. Woot!

Opinions wanted on headlight retro
Projector is permanently mounted in headlight housing as of now. Color mod has been done. Head light housing has been painted. Inner trim housing has been painted, but I opted to leave part of it chrome. Not sure if I dig it or not. I think I dig it, but I didn't get as smooth of lines as I had wanted though so I think that is why I am questioning it. I just have a few things to permanently mount and then I can seal it back up. I'll probably start on the other side before I permanently finish the other one. Woot for pictures.
