Black Headlight bezels.

Does anyone have a picture or thoughts on blackhead light bezels for dual square headlights? I'm not really going for the stock look or a modded look, just a good look. Its two tone brown with a 4 inch lift and soon to be 35 inch tires.

Re: Black Headlight bezels.

Only looks good when the grille is also black. Did it on my crew cab dually-it was a gray truck though and wanted the gray grill to look different.

Re: Black Headlight bezels.

I've seen some that look really good, and some that don't. It really depends on the truck, and what they have done to the grill around it too. I say if you like it go for it.
