Head light bezel question.

I see 69 trucks with polished and black headlight bezels.

What's the deal??

What is correct?

I do like the black but has a set of NOS polished bezels....should I sell them and just paint the ones I have black??

I don't want to be embarrassed when I'm out and have someone say "that's not correct"

Thanks, Rich

Black is correct for 69-70 however the stainless looks well also. It's more of a preference thing, either way looks good.
