Headlights With Black Housing

Headlights With Black Housing
Hi, hopefully this is in the right spot.
I have a white 2012 that i'm looking to do a black/white theme on it. I wanted to do headlight/tail light tints, but they're not legal here, so I was hoping to find some clear lens headlights with black housing, but the only thing i've seen are the raxiom with the halo accents. i'm not interested in the halo accents, but the black housing looks great. Anyone know of anything similar?

3m makes a tinted clear bra which would help protect your headlights in the long run as well as giving you a darker, but not black, look you're trying to get.
For other headlights that are almost all black on the inside go to mrbodykit.com. Sounds silly, but they have stock looking headlights where but the amber lights are clear or crystal. Much better than the raxiom I think.

Agreed....I would be in for a set. I dislike the halo's around the projectors

Any word on when they would be available? I have HIDs in my smoked Raxioms, and while I love the style, the smoked lenses diffuse the light output.

Yes, Raxiom did have black housing/clear lens projector headlights a couple of years ago but they now only sell black housing/smoke lens. Other suppliers sell the identical lamps in black housing/clear lens but without the Raxiom name. You get a 1-year warranty rather than 2-year but otherwise the housings are identical even down to the casting numbers and DOT specs (I have both and have compared them side-by-side). I had to buy the other brand because the smoke lens of the Raxiom takes an unacceptable toll on headlight effectiveness.

Personally I like the halo and have them wired as DRL but they are powered by a separate wire so you don't have to use them if you don't like them. Without power they simply look like a glass surround for the projector lens.

If I had known, I would've waited for these.
