And yep. Cutoff shields were painted; the halos do a beautiful job of really showing it off also.

I'm finally about to order my headlights and retrofit kit, and was debating on color matching the whole headlight red, or leaving it black and just painting the shroud red! What do yal think would look better

I color matched mine and if I had to do it again, I would just paint them satin black.
Not sure how a red shroud would look with a black housing.

Paint the entire inside of the headlight housing satin black, and PTM the projector shroud to the red of your truck. I think it would look good.
