You're probably better off ordering the complete shadowline OEM trim pieces.
Search for "shadowline", it's been discussed numerous times.

Makes a world of difference on your car. Get rid of that Chrome...

Only thing should be chrome on your car, is the lip of the wheel, if you have it.. That's it!! And possibly your OEM Kidney grills in front.

Oh, the ones you get from Brabusamg809.. I know i spelt his name wrong, but you can get it from him. Its not as bright as you think, its just the picture deceiving you. It matches a 6000k headlight perfectly. Not the 4300k. 4300k is good with AngelIBright angel eyes.
