Smoking headlights to match smoked valenti tails

I am considering a few options..

Bake it and painting the housing (what color best matches up?)

Lamin x gunsmoke covers (how well does it match?)

Or taking it to a local shop and asking them if they have paint or tint to match it perfectly


I'm looking for it to preferably be a under $300 job. I'm open to buying new smoked headlights but I find them to be a bit more expensive

Smoking the lens will cut the output of the headlight drastically. Not only is it illegal, it's unsafe.


The stock BRZ housings are already blacked out in many areas, and you can black out more if you want to do it.

You're right...I'm either going to keep it stock since it's black in areas or paint more of the housing black. I just noticed yesterday it had a ton of black already and will probably look good
