Yes, I painted the outside silver to color match my car and the inside reflectors a smoke metallic color. I originally had the outside bezel black and left the reflectors chrome.

i have an 07 se with halogen headlights, i think atleast. are the HID headlights just plug and play? I'm getting sick of not being able to see at night after driving my wife's RDX for a while.
