Aluminum or Metal Coat Bezel Headlight
 
Howdy all,
I have a 2001 Mazda ES 2.0, had an accident a few weeks back and now I need a new front passenger side headlight. The background on mine is black, so I'm thinking of buying a brand new set where the entire thing is chromed out, but what is the difference between the metal coat bezel or the aluminum bezel, I know that the aluminum bezel is always $20-$30 more expensive.

Pretty much Different look.
2002 MP5 all Chrome look.... 2003 Has black trim painted black giving it a more destinct look. You'll have to ignore my spelling. I am pretty sure its mainly about the look of the car.. this you will have to deside on your own..

Bah and i need to read... Weight and heat transfer. as well as reflection may be a factor too. Yeah i know.. new here.. i'm slow.. Come on i worked 13 hours and i should be in bed!! hehe

I could be wrong.. probably am, but thats what i think.

CDNeh is right. I used to have the black headlights in my old protege before i was in my first wreck. The body shop that fixed my car after that installed the chrome housing w/out even noticing it. The only difference that I found was the amount of light distribution to the road. Other than tnat it is just the overall look of your car. I hope that helps you out.

Yeah, I will probably go with the Aluminum then, I love that complete shiny chrome look on any car. Thanks ya'll
