Yes, the spare set I have is the black bezel ones.. My T4 has the black bezel ones and the 1.9D has the black bezel with the chrome rings. It is down to personal preference. I personally prefer the chrome rings ones, but other prefer the plain black ones.

Yep. I like both very much. Seen a V40 2003 yesterday in Aqua and had the bezels and despite my lack of funds really tempted me!

Don't forget that you would be also making some money by selling your chrome healights and indicators. You could get something in the range of £60 for them. So the black bezel ones are not that bad in the end.

Very true. £60 is more than I expected them to be worth.

I look at £20-£25 per headlight and £10 per sidelight, so not too much. They would be ideal for a person who has P1 light and wants to convert to P2

Yep. Hopefully someone is interested when I get round to selling them.

Chrome ringed units are the smartest looking ones, but I could be a bit biased, as they are the ones that I fitted.

I have a pair of mint condition, standard chrome (not black) bezels and Hella chrome indicators for sale, if anyone is interested. They are just taking up some space in the loft.
All are boxed and ready to ship out.

Sure do.

Here's a pic of mine and one with the bumper removed, allowing me to swap the bezels over.
