Black out the chrome, that's an Amish thing - that's what I was told when I bought my brand new Buick Grand National back in 86, for a measly 16 G's - miss that car.

Tom- That was actually taken at the parking structure across the street from the Beverly Center...Good eye tho.

vraa- Agreed, on a black GX the lights would look awesome!
I guess it's really a matter of taste, i'm more into the "sporty" look, and have a profound dislike for chrome.

Thanks for the honest opinions

Right GS3Tek, the sports model has tinted lights but it's too subtle, sometimes i couldn't even tell that they were tinted unless i was parked next to a non-sports GX.

Just came across this thread and I must say that the headlight mod you have done is amazing!!! It completely changes the front of the vehicle, including it's attitude.

The GX is so un-intimidating looking in stock trim. It is the complete opposite now.
