This guy on Reddit probably deserves a few upvotes for a well-executed, cheap, and clean idea. I figured some of y'all might appreciate the idea!

I'm with Woody. I wouldn't draw attention to the headlight surround myself. Heck, they should be down unless it's dark anyhow!

But it's a way to make your car look different.

The light color seems to showcase just how inelegant the molding is. Looks like a piece of plastic that has warped from heat exposure

I certainly don't not like it, at least in white. In white, I sorta dig it. I like simplicity and purity in design, so little details like this that simplify the details are often a win to me. Not always, and I'll withhold judgement on other color cars.

Or maybe I'm just a child of the 80s and still have a soft spot for monochromatic paint schemes. Like this:

It's well-executed but I don't like the look of it.

I had a white miata and painted mine metallic silver. I liked it. I has pics but have to dig on the computer.

I was inspired by the aftermarket east bear headlight surrounds that are often painted silver

I like it. But I also lust for pop-up headlights.
