If you keep the current rims on, I'd say that the chrome would look better. If you switch back to the not as good looking black rims, then the black would be. Though I'd be concerned about looking too murdered out; I'm not a huge fan of that.

When did these come on the market? Didn't even know they had them out there. If I didn't have my clears already, I'd hop on the black ones.

Considering that oem bix are discontinued and are really rare to find, the price I usually see is >1,000 USD per headlight. I think these are pretty good alternatives for the price for both of them.

Chrome housing.

W203/cl203 never look any good with those black housings because of how much empty space is left next to the projectors which makes them look cheap!

I think in order for black housing to look good they have to be gloss black On the inside on this car.

I got my new headlights installed and all My one immediate review and recommendation though when purchasing these headlights, get different ballasts and error decoders. The equipment it came with was total GARBAGE! ! ! Flickered and shut off when the car was running. I simply swapped my previous setup into there, except for the bulb, and it works totally fine. Other than that they are SWEEEEEEEET! ! ! Proper photoshoot to follow sometime in the near future.

They look almost stock bi-xenons

aftermarket kit does fall into 2 categories without a doubt, good or the complete opposite !

I see you went for the chrome ones, hard choice ? - i though you might go for the black because all the others are darkened on your car, plus most people have chrome

anyway, looks a lot better now and with those yellow fog lights, no danger of them looking like they are trying (and failing) to be as white as the heablights

It was a tough choice but I could see the novelty of black on black getting really old kinda quick. Im really glad I decided to stick with the chrome.

You going to do the sandwich bag on the lugnuts trick to keep them new-looking? My chrome Honda ones are already a bit rusty on the corners of the nuts. I have another set (they're a buck each) that I'll be doing the bag on when I swap them out. Might then POR-15 the original ones and see how that works.
