What colour is the car? If it is a dark colour then go with the black ones if it is light then chrome will look best.

You'll find that black cars will look good with either really, keep it consistent though, if you go with black then black over the grill and other chrome bits as well.

Personally I would say that the dark lights can work well with light paint jobs if it is done right.

Hey since you're last post I now have an A4 Fsi Quattro! They are pretty cool cars. Mine has had the chrome removed from around the grill and it looks good so I think i'd recommend the black lights.

What did you decide on? How is it going with the A4?
