Default Opinions needed on headlight mod

I have a Denim Blue TT, I was thinking about painting the housing(the dark gray/black area) denim blue to match the rest of the car. Do you all think this would look good? I am also going to do the Angel Eyes kit and smoked corners if someone has either of those they are wanting to sell. Where is the best place to buy paint to match the cars? TIA

Default I wouldn't paint them denim.....

I have Denim too, I think denim housings would be too much blue. I'd like to see something like a dark gray. Darker than the stock gray that is.

Default Do one and not the other. Best of both worlds. ;) Seriously...

I'm kinda with meem on this one. I like the matte black, but they look better sans the US DOT side reflectors as it gives the "Euro" look. Euro TT headlamp below.

Default I'm in the process of doing mine right now. No more black housings. I'm lightening up my front!
