Default Looking for Black headlights

I have been searching the different venues for a pair of black headlights, most of the ones I have seen still have the gray band around the base. Does anyone have any input as to models that are all black (no gray band) and a minimum of amber lens showing? I do admire the anzo projection lights with LEDS but they too have the gray band around the base. I have also looked at the IKON brand, model #LP-DD05BB-5, they appear to be more what i'm looking for but the price is so much less than all the others I fear they may not stand up over the long term. Has anyone had pro or con experience with this brand? Once again thanks for any input.

A lot of us bought from here over three years ago:
http://www.autolights4u.com/index.ph...oducts_id=2160
We paid $160/pair; now they are $100 each.
I wouldn't buy another pair; mine have clouded in the sun and look bad up close. (I don't have a garage)
The factory Nightrunner lights are only $150 each and hopefully would hold up better.
Both are all black with no gray strip but have amber signal lens.

search for the "nightshade" dakota. They dont have grey in them, might be close to what your looking for.

Thanks for the input guys, I belive I will go with the anzo 111124 black projector with halo and LEDs. Only problem is they will not ship for about 6 weeks. Well that gives me longer to save up to pay for them as they dont charge till they ship.

You can get factory nightrunnes for $299 brand new. I have the link saved online. I emailed the dealer and they can special order them if they dont already have them in stock, it all depends on how many they sell at one time.

when you say body color the bumper I'm assuming you mean the plastic portion below and around the chrome portion? That is the way you have yours unless you've painted it recently, one is hard put to keep currant with you. thanks
