Default Making custom factory headlights

So Im having my 07 headlights painted inside black to match truck. There Is a guy on cl near me willing to do it. We were talking and I want the inside black and He said maybe putting a decal of the mopar m sign on each side of the headlight. I think that would look sick and custom. I know someone on here has done it but wasnt on a black truck. Anyone have pics and anymore suggusting. Like on each headlight putting 2 mopar m sign decal and the rest all black. Or maybe just all black and no decal but I like the idea of it. And then maybe tinting the headlights outside alittle or maybe leaving the alone.What you think.

I dunno, it might look cool but your going for more of the clean look, not the "MOPAR!!! or RAM!!!!" look...like that truck you see every once in awhile with RAM across the winshield, dodge logos all over the tailgate, etc...heres mine and ill post it with the eyelids im testing later this week

I would leave the Mopar "M" out. It might look cool at first but I see it getting old after a while and lets face it... you are not gonna want to get them ripped apart again! Stick with the clean look and color match them to your factory color (like the newer vettes and the one in Matt99's garage"! lol Do I see a S-Type Jag too Matt? Damn I'm doing something wrong!

hell yea that would be bitchin as frog would say....i did it myself (well a guy from south la on the other forum came up and helped me) we did a write up....i did it awhile ago, probably a year or so...and I used that black metallic duplicolor...its pretty close to our factory paint, better than a gloss black. And my girlfriend is loaded, her graduation present...and the vette is a loan/gift from my grandfather

heres the color on my spoiler...and the gloss on the lens makes the headlights look shinier
