Default Anyone paint match their headlights?

I wanna do something with my headlights and I was seriously thinking about paint matching my headlights to the rest of the vehicle (Nautical Blue). Has anyone done this and have pics? Any color would be fine just to see what it looks like on an xb2.

Thanks for the pic, are the headlights smoked on the outer or inner part of the lense? That looks pretty good, I'm getting tired of the "chrome" part the headlights....

In there he paints his headlights. Shows you how to get them apart and everything. Just skip the retrofit part. Hope that helps.

He just smoked the lenses. You could do either, smoke the lenses, or bake open the housingss and color match them.

Found some better shots.
Here is mine from the side and if you look down the end you can see one of our other club member's done in metalic green.

Another of Jason's(scvscions) color match blue.

Better shot of mine.

Another club member BSP matched.
