Are you talking about the chrome rings? Or just the housing? I ask, because the headlights have body color (weiss) rings. (I know, "Consistency is the hobgoblin...".)
If you want to draw even more attention to their uniqueness, go black. All the black trim on white 911s stands out with the contrast. |

I'm not sure what you're asking? Your car is white and the lights are white. If that's them on your car they look awesome just like that. What color were you considering painting them?

Maybe chrome rings for the headlights? (There's that hobgoblin again.)

I'd paint the body of the light fixture to match the car, but I wouldn't paint the chrome.

I’m assuming he means the gray backs, my advice is yes, paint them to match car colour.
