You can tint them or you can take them out and paint the insides. To open most headlights you have to preheat your oven to 350 degrees, then cut the oven off. Put the lights on a cookie sheet with a hand towel on them so they are not directly on the metal sheet. Allow them to stay in the oven about 10 minutes as the temp drops from 350 (remember the stove is off). Once you pull them out you should be able to pull the headlight apart with ease. This is of course if they have that thick goo around for the seal. Pull it apart, sand, and spray flat black rustoleum on parts that are not used to reflect the light itself. Once your completely dry and done, put the light back together the best you can and reinsert into the oven. Allow the oven to cool from 350 again and soften the goo around the light. Pull it out and push it together good and your set. No fogging should occur if you seal it back properly. Thats the skinny on it, and I've done it before. Or I guess you could just buy some

Damn those are pretty sweet looking headlights. I just might go for a set of those instead of the euro clears like I wanted before. Any trouble with cops with them? I had a 92 Ford Probe before that I night shaded (blacked out) the taillights on them, it looked AWESOME. but the cops sure didn't like them. no tickets, but NUMEROUS times being pulled over for something illegal on that car. lol

I really can't tell the difference light-wise between the smoked and the clear. The reflectors are different inside, so the reflectors in the smoked ones may be better at reflecting the light. I don't know, I guess if there were any significant difference, you could go for those brighter lights, the sylvania silver stars. They have the DOT certification imprints on them, but no problems from the cops anyway.

Excellent choice! Have any other pics of the deep dish in the rear? I haven't seen them in black.
