To paint or not to paint?

I am ordering washer nozzle LED lights and they have a chrome top. Should I paint it body color (gray lustre) with the touch up paint, or leave it chrome? Thanks!

Since I have a GLE, the door handle are chrome, but I like the look of the stock ones. Not too noticeable. How did you hook yours up? I am thinking about hooking them up to my headlights.

well on my corner lamps there is the main light that brightens when you use your turn signal and then theres a little yellow light, i just disconnected that one and spliced in the hood lights. What color did you get? can you believe i got a citation for having hyperwhite LED's

I ordered blue. The cops around here aren't too bad. I have passed many of them with my clears, and my hyper white turn signals. So I hope it won't be a problem. Maybe I can wire them to my fog lights...but won't they go off when I turn my high beams on
