Headlight Question
Hey Guys,
Since I wasn't getting any reasonable offers on my E55, I decided that I will just keep it and remodel it for the 2015 year. I recently rewrapped my car a different color. It was like this before.

With the new color, the matte grey headlights don't match. (Neither do the rims, but I'm taking care of that). They are also starting to fade and look kinda crappy. I'm thinking about getting some new headlights. I was looking at the Spyder OEM black version, but they are out of stock with no real ETA. They do have those other ones with the DRL LEDs in them, but I'm not completely sold on them. What are your thoughts? Also, is there somebody that paints headlights if I just find a pair of OEM chrome ones? I don't have time for the DIY of painting these again. I'd rather ship them off and have them return black.

Thank You!!! At least I'm not the only one that thinks that... Since the OEM look one is out of stock, they keep trying to sell me the ones with the LED. I really don't like them and think they look a little on the cheesy side, but I really really don't like how the grey looks with the new color. I'm thinking about just getting the OEM chrome versions for now. I can always throw a little light shade of tint on them if they are too bright.
