Been looking at headlights for my truck but I can't decide weather I should do clear or black housings. I like the look of both just wanted some opinions

Having a red truck, you might just be able to pull off the black housings.

IMO it all really depends on the direction your going with your truck I'm personally having the hardest time choosing a housing style that I like that will fit the theme of my truck

Regardless of what color combo your going after, I would still recommend going with a clear headlight housing with a diamond cut reflector. The clear headlight housings have MUCH better light output then any black headlight housing does. If you really want a black headlight housing, at the very least get one that has a clear lens with a chrome reflector, and has black on the top and bottom inside the housing. Of all black headlights, that style performs the best. But the clear/chrome headlight housings still have optimal light output over any darker combo!

I grabbed a set of those clear lens with black housings except they still have all the chrome reflectors inside them. Light output is way better than stock. I have been happy with them.

I'm a fan of black. But you could do clear headlights and make all the turn signal indicators and tail lights black

I was actually thinking about going with a project headlight. And eventually I'm going to be going with a black grill on my truck
