2 options, you can open your headlights and paint the headlights or you can get transparent paint and paint the outside of the headlights. I recommend the first choice it doesnt dim your lights.

first double check with your states laws. Some of them are if it wasnt factory than you cant have it. second dont use spray paint. use acrilic paint (not too much or you will need new ones) this will take some time so make sure you dont have to be anywhere for atleast 3 days. take them off. open them up (without breaking the adhesive you do you will need new light) you might have to go through the bulb insert! what you do is wet the inside of the light pur in a LITTLE im saying LITTLE here of acrilic paint (little water helps too) and shake it around. leave it on the galss for an hour, pour out the water. repeat alot. that will give the best smoke looking lights youll ever find doing it yourself that is if you do it right!. use gray pain not black baaaaaaaaad. gray can over lay with out getting darker. black cant. so try that. if that doesnt work for yea. as long as teh layers are still slightly wet yo ucan wash it out with a high power water! good luck. try it my way or not. just remember it takes alot of time it will take 3 days for one side! so if you got the time go for it.
