Default Quad fogs...black or white?

Been going back and forth on either making the covers white or keeping it black?
I've been getting white from some peeps but will the black flow better?
It's giving me a headache. Can my fellow GS'ers help a brotha out and aleiviate my struggle lol.
Oh and where in SoCal would you recommend is the best place to get these installed? THANKS!

Id personally go with black, because it appears you have a black roof, black grille, and black lower valance majig. I think white would throw it off and make it look cheesy. black will integrate it and keep that black lower part flowing well.

i'd do black, nice contrast to set off the look

nice mod.

fogs aren't difficult to do, shop will probably charge you an hour of work that you could do in half the time.

I vote white if you can match the color exactly to the car which is near impossible to do with old paint. But black would like nice as well too since it would match with the grill and other black trim.

Black hands down. With white, it would get dirty faster, Light output looks better with black surrounding
