Default Chrome switch housings or Chrome buttons?

I bought the chrome switch buttons for my 08 Ultra (t/s, radio, horn, etc...) with the intention of replacing them and the housings with chrome. The more I think of it, the more I think I might keep the housings black and just put the chrome buttons in.
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!

The plastic (fake chrome) switch covers are junk IMO.

Chrome housings with black buttons, yeah....
