Ireland 2008 Range Rover HSE TDV8 Java Black
Preferred option all black or semi black( Headlights)

They say once you go black theres no going back well I painted my headlight inserts partial black as can be seen in picture 1 and full black as in 2. I then went a step further and paint the inserts all black. After looking at both options I think I prefer the partial black option as in picture 1 what do people think ? I have replacement inserts at the ready .
Im thinking option one is best and off course will be leaving in the halos Thumbs Up

I think the last two are more the SSRR dealer look where as the first two remind me more of the newer disco and stuff look.

The black in the lights looks a tiny bit duller, though it could be the lenses or the camera Smile FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I like the full black, although it should go with a black front grill. Now the chrome on the grill jumps out to much. cars on the side;

Can't decide. The first two (partial) are taken outside in a strong-ish light. The latter (full) are indoors where all colours appear richer. It's hard to be truly objective without seeing them both in the same ambient light.

That said, partial does look better for the reasons stated above. Thumbs Up Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.
