Maybe paint the bottom part of the housing black. The part that light isn't being reflected off of.

I personally don't think that would look nice.
Plus they are "brand new" fogs, I really would hate to mess them up.
On the other hand, maybe a light smoke?
Will see, for now I'm working on rims & bags

I agree with ThomasGS4^^^ on the bezels, however, I like the car overall much much more than before, now its a bit more clean looking, its definitely heading in the right direction

Wow. Night and day difference (in a good way). Keep in mind that it is your car though and don't get caught up too much in VIP this and VIP that. At the end of the day, you are the one driving it and paying for the mods. How do you like the new look compared to the old look? I personally like the headlights, car looks angry/mean .
