Dark Headlights on a White Car?

[Dahlia]

Whats your personal opinion? Do you think dark headlights look good on a white car or do they just stand out and look stupid?

I've got stock standard headlights installed atm and I've been looking around at different headlights to get. I was originally just going to get some chrome angel eyes as I've got chrome taillights. But I've seen some awesome looking dark "smoked" headlights that look great on black and silver cars, but I'm not so sure about white....

If they look good, I was thinking about putting dark lights on the back too.

So what do you think?

they can look good, look at astra AH's prefacelift (dark headlights) compared to post facelift (light headlights)

Cheers for the advice guys. I've seen a lot of smoked rear lights from Europe which I really like. Are they legal in Oz?

just need to have a red reflector on the back of the car if they don't have them built in.

So something like this:

Would be illegal without some red reflector somewhere on the back of the car (and I wouldn't know where to put it without making the car look like a crash test car haha)...

And these would be fine:

1 & 2 do have reflectors built in but you may get done for them not passing enough light (both reflector and bulb). A memeber in qld has a pair and following him on a cruise i have to say it wasn't very easy seeing the brakelights on them.

3 is legal
4 seems to be cdx/sri-t standard (maybe a bit darker) but legal.
