Who's got black headlights on dark paintwork?

by Adrian » Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:42 am

Seen V6 steve's photos of his black angel-eye headlamps on a white calibra and I thought they looked very good.

But I'm not sure how they'd look against dark paintwork. Anyone got photos?

But what you can't see is the other side indicator flashing at the same time, because he's got his hazards on for the breakdown :lol:

After seventeen years I still don't know whether to call it blue or green :think: It all depends on where you stand when you look at it. Easier just to call it dark rather than Neptune Turquoise Mica :mrgreen:
