Default Any Body Colored Headlight Housings?

I have only come across white and black body color matched headlights.

I am particularly looking for millenium silver metallic with headlight bezels painted to match (sport design is nice, but not matching)

you'll have to split them and paint them yourself or have a body shop do it, there's lots of info on here on how to break the seal off your lenses

color matched bezel would look nice. especially on silver with Q45 projectors.

Check the classifieds for a picture as I remember Gill (77i9) had a Q45 retrofit for sale a while back that were body colored.

That is exactly the one that has me thinking about going for it. Just wanted to see some mounted on a vehicle.

by doing a color matched bezel the low beam and high beam are going to "pop" out at you... The low beam and high beam get a little "lost" in the chrome bezel IMO....
