If I got headlights without a new panel would they fit in it but look weird or will they not fit at all?

I personally don't care much for the all chrome lights unless on a all white truck. I think the black looks better on other colors.
You don't think the chrome works on black paint?

I love my Harley heads but I thinking I should have went with the black instead. I'm having a heck of a time deciding on tail lights that keep the balance between the front and rear. ...It's hard because I HATE altezza/euro tail lights.

Red tails don't look good and neither do tinted with the chrome front.

I'm going to be selling mine soon. I am getting a set retrofitted, so these will be utterly useless to me.
