Why did you choose CCFL? The whole fishing line on a tiny glass tube thing scared me off.

Yellow.
EDIT: Now that I know you're adding the Audi-MB-Honda-Kia LED strips I change my vote on the trim paint. I would keep the trim black. I'd love to see a mock-up of this so I can decide whether or not to do it on my retro v2. I had asked for Audi-style strips when I ordered my first retrofit kit but I never received them.

Oh ya, I guess I can tint the reflectors..Should I spray 'em or tint them with actual tint? I'm thinking tint.
I vote for painting the trim white! I think that would look awesome especially with the reflectors still chrome.

The trim /bezel is chrome... I bought a new set to work on. I'll sell my Limited heads after.

I vote yellow line.

Has your stuff shipped from TRS yet? I think I may take this approach to mounting the projectors:
