Ok, preparing to install the projector today. It's black, as is the car. I'm considering not painting anything inside, just keeping the chrome and silver/grey. Thoughts?
Also, I destroyed the rubber seal between the car and the headlight. Can't seem to find it on Pelican or Suncoast. Any ideas?

Refer to my post #821 for the rubber seals. The stuff you can get from Home Depot works great:

My projectors are black and I left the inside reflector bowl chrome as well as the other parts stock (no painting). To be honest, I kind of think they would look good black though. If you do paint the inside black, I would only do the chrome reflector bowl and leave the clear plastic sleeves as-is, unpainted. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry for the delay...here are some closeups of my lights. Silver reflector behind black projectors.
Glad you enjoyed the pic, Fred! I will post the picture of the silver projectors once I get around to doing the retrofit on them!
