Those are custom painted. You can get depo ones that are black, but they don't have that chrome trim around the turn signal and low beam housing. You'd have to take a set of stock ones apart, mask them off, and paint them. I think buyhids will custom paint and sell you a set of stock housings if you want it.

Its just red vinyl on my lights. I should take it off because to make it sit flat on rounded lights you have to cut it and you can see the cut marks up close.

from your picture, things look good, halo's plus LED looks busy but I like it. Have you tried same color headlights/halos and same color LED? I wonder how all one color would look? Just a thought but your car looks great and unique as it currently sits

The plan is to eventually make all the LED/Halos in the headlights red to match, but im sure i will get a lot of attention from cops that way. Already have warnings from 3 different police departments that are around where i live for having red coming from the front of my car which is illegal.

no i havn't messed with it too much yet, right now i have a few spare sets of headlights and housings im playing with to try and make something a littlle more custom, but it's hard finding all the replacement bulbs for these types of things. i'm probably just going to wire everything myself and use my own bulbs to do everything lol. but we will see. right now the halo's, headlights, and foglights are white/blue, the turn signals and LED strips are red.

Yeah they're 3rd gen CCFL projectors with 6k HID lows and 5k HID highs.. I mean for what they cost they're fine.. I was very disappointed with the light output of the projector though they didn't even come close to what it was stock with HIDs. I'd just cut the crap and go retrofit to tell you the truth. I love the CCFL halos they look sick but the projector just isn't any kind of good quality. They're BRIGHT they just don't project any farther than 15 or 20 feet in front of the car and I can't line up my cutoff to save my life. Also, the HID bulbs I bought wouldnt fit into the headlight housing so I had to do some "modifications" and the bulbs aren't mounted level which probably has something to do with the output.
...It was a big headache haha go retrofit if you want halos you can get those too
