I did it a few years ago.. gunmetaled them.

I made a how to also but I dont know where the pics are. It worked out really well... but the original sealant was crap after I was done with it. I had to re seal and one of my lights "yellowed".

To lazy to do it again.

Hmmmmmm its kinda hard to tell blackout your headlights first and take a good look. I think the headlights would look good cause of your cf hood and the clear corners might just be right cause the 1/4 panel is white
I dunno if that helps or makes any sense h:
