I did this and I think it looked good. It was just the outside lens though, trying to make the whole housing for the bulb would be a pretty difficult task due to the lip on the housing...

My clear corners turned out good. I used the left over headlight covers that I had lying around and cut them to fit. I also did a DIY on here. I used the headlight covers to match the lines in my headlights. I havent seen anyone do it on here.
