How dark are your windows tinted, % wise? For the headlights, bake them in the oven then pop apart the clear shell from the housing and then paint the chrome housing black. I believe there is a detailed DIY writup on here somewhere.

You could bake them, but there are better ways to do it without the chance of damaging your headlights, take your time & use a heat gun...or take it to a professional shop and have them do it.

1% that's awesome! lol the law states 50% in front and 40 in back, but I went 50 al around to make it match.
