Default Who here has painted headlights?

Just decided I want to paint my headlights before winter time comes. I have a black IS350 and was thinking of painting it black, only some parts of it. So if anyone got painted headlights, please post a picture if you can. I can sure use some inspiration!

*** Update: Here's how they look for now. I painted them chrome black, left the bottom part chrome, and stuck a piece of silver CF over the amber reflector.

Dang, those blue LEDs on the side look real good! How much would it be to paint it black (only some parts) and put in amber LEDs instead of those blue ones in the link?
