I would definitely do it. Especially if I had a spare set lying around. I think it looks good!

Yes, Yes, and more yes...

And if you get tired of them, you could always sell them to ME! I'm planning on doing this in the future but only if I get a spare set. (although a straight up purchase of someone else's handy work would be just as nice for me)

They probably look better on SSMs than any other color, here is Niko's from the DIY thread above:

I truly believe all the Fits should come with black light housings. It just makes a nice color combination.
