I kinda like the chrome/black contrast, but I'm not sure-just can't quite picture it. I have the chrome cover on my black master cylinder, and the chrome trim rings on my black speakers. The Kuryakyn ISO Flame grips are also chrome/black.
Does anyone have any pics of the black switch housings with chrome buttons? Or vice-versa, chrome switch housings with black buttons? It would help a lot if I could get a visual. Thanks in advance!
I like a little black mixed with the chrome. So, for me anyway, if you're going to chrome the housings, then leave the buttons black, or vice versa. Too much chrome if you do both. Just my opinion of course.

I like the appearance of both combinations with contrast: chromed buttons/black housings or chrome housings and black buttons. I try to stay away from any accessory that is applied with stick'um or double sided tape (chrome buttons). Don't ask me why. My therapist probably knows.
