Default Lexus gs 300 Tinted headlights

Hi guys. I just bought my first Lexus gs 300 and I just joined the forum. I tint cars for a living and I am wondering if you guys can help me decide if I should tint my front headlights or not. I can't decide which looks better. You think black tinted front headlight looks good on silver car?

I don't like it that much. Painting the housings black would look a lot better in my opinion.

Never was a fan of tinted headlights. Unless you were going for the stealth look I can see it getting by. Other than that it's a no-no.

IMO, the only way you can get by with tinting lights is ife the car is white or black. I say no.

Aesthetically and functionality, this is a no go for me.
