Default Black housing DIY

Hey all, i was just curious which looks better when making black housing...

is it better to paint the signal area, or is it better to leave it so that the turn signal bulb reflects? which looks better, which is more practical etc.

neone got pics of either...

thanks.

I just finished off my set... The ones on ebay they left the area entirely reflective but i chose to follow the outer lines, painting those black and leaving the rest reflective. Looks pretty nice but be careful with the tape, I messed up a couple of times, looks hella clean from a distance but up close you can see the mistakes... I wouldn't suggest painting entirely black bc as you said the signal bulbs need to reflect. I'll post pics some day in the near future.
