Having my headlights done by a local Genesis owner that has done it, and I'm trying to decide what color to do them. My Gen is Nord Gray. See poll attached....

Black with chrome is my vote, gives the headlights a bit of verve. Norde grey is a great colour, I just think that it'd look like faded black once it was behind the lenses.

Black housing grey projectors with the paint reflectors. I also like Zekkal idea with the color match housing red projectors. If I had to choose from the provided pics black and chrome. I think painting the reflectors is a must.

to me, all black only looks good if complimented by a CF hood. Otherwise there's too much contrast and it doesn't really tie into anything.
There's a cover piece over the turn signal. Some people have tinted that to help it blend in with the dark housing. May be something to consider.
Dark housing with chrome projector
But this is what I like, with a painted reflector added:
Black housing with chrome bezel

I agree Paint the reflector, I don't think the black on grey will look as good as color matched

All black. If there were other chrome in the front to go with it, i'd leave the projector, but there's not. The black will tie in with the uper and lower grill nicely IMO.
