paint 'em
A few others have painted theirs also
Ok, I need to be cleared up here. The Type-R has always come with black housing lights. I've seen pics of 02 R's with headlights that look black and some that look chrome, and some that look in between. If you look through the CTR gallery on here, you can see this clearly. I have heard that the R lights are barely tinted and you can only tell if it is next to an Si. R lights in the past have had very noticable differences. I have also heard that the black lights only came on the Japanese R's and not the ones in other countries. I want to buy some black housing lights soon, but I don't want to spend $500 on something that is barely noticable. So, if anyone knows the answers to this, let us all know.

I say go with gunmetal...
but black is best. my girlfriend says the car looks mean now. I guess that's good, right?
I don't want to paint them. I suck at doing things myself. I have ruined so many parts in the past.
Here's the answer to your question:
The Type-R comes in Smoked Chrome or Black Chrome housing. Smoked Chrome is lighter almost grey, and the Black Chrome is dark almost black.
optauto.com sells the darker version.
