You go Black-out, I'll go White-out!
I like it as well.
I'll look forward to seeing this in person. Just a couple weeks!

Ditto. It's fantastic you got new headlights for cheap. I just can't tell the difference.

You're correct, the GXP lights are slightly darker. It may be easier to see in person side by side.

The lense is actually "smoked" color. Personally, I can't stand it because it gives the lighting from the headlights a more yellow'ish color, and makes them look dim (when in fact they're not) thanks to the HIR bulb GXP high beams get, then the low beam HIR's that I've put in.
As to this application, I gotta say, I personally only like the amber removed on the lighter colored Bonne's, and the lighter metallic colored Bonne's. Sleigh has his done and it looks good with his color. On a dark color like the black (mine), blue, or even crimson tintcoat, I gotta say, leaving the the amber corners looks better. It adds the proper offsetting/contrast in color.

I think the amber gives a bad contrast and looks bad with any color. Looks much cleaner without the amber in there IMO.

So when are we going to see that Cutlass without the Tang-colored directionals?
