RE sleek lights: paint the inner housing black or white?

I might be getting RE sleek headlights for my FD pretty soon. I'm deciding whether or not to have the inner housing painted white or black...my car is chaste white.

What do you guys think? And if anyone has pics of their RE sleeks on a white FD, posting pics would help with my decision immensely. Thanks.

I'd say paint the housing white. I was thinking of getting these for my chaste white too. I think black housings by itself would look weird. If you had a c/f hood, lip, and maybe black rims, i could see the black housings looking great with everything, but otherwise, white will look the best.

If you have a c/f hood paint it black like I did with my R E Amemiya lights.

I have them on my car (a VR FD) and I painted them black. The tinted lenses from RE would have distorted the red color anyway.
