Nope, that will look ricey and in the years to come
all that will be left of the Pilots will be the remaining
mounting holes, wiring and nitrous switch.
Leave them on just once and its dead battery time for you..

You should have considered covers for your headlights. That way you can just take them off at night. Its the easiest way to go for that total blackout.

Normally I am much more helpful, but this just sparked something.

I understand wanting the blacked out look, it does look good. But to openly admit you would rather have blacked out lights than worry about being safe is just dumb.

It won't seem so cool when you run into something in the middle of the night, or someone hits you and you have to pay the bill because you are breaking the law. (Yes blacked out lights are illegal).

Just get the pull off ones.

Get LCD panels to go over the lights.
Dark during the day and translucent at night.

i got one side installed and it actually looks good not ricey at all, and if i was really worried about looking ricey i wouldnt have neon underglow. i think the lights add a nice touch to the lower portion to the car

Post some pictures of what you have right now so we can get a visualization. There are several lighting options out there.

You can keep the blackout look, and maybe run with a traditional GT foglight setup. Or get something like the CS6 front bumper with built in fogs.
