Save up for a second pair of headlights, send those off to a good outfit to get them painted. You'll probably be able to sell your stockers later.
There's bound to be used headlights in the FS section, or even your local used parts supplier
Good point about selling my stock headlights. I could get back a good 75% of the money I put in buying new ones just reselling them. It's just coming up with the close to 2k for the extra set that's going to be quite tough.
