I believe a company makes a film you can put over your headlights for that tinted effect. (can't remember the name right now...I'll get back to you on that)

Other wise you could bake your headlights to pop off the glass and paint the inside of it black it will sortof give the same effect.

get the SE tailights and u can make them darker with overlays or nite shades. for the headlights u can paint around the reflector housings or u can do what I did and retrofit then black out the whole housing like jsmithsole suggested, up to u.

You smoked your headlights? Was it a little harsh?

Couldn't you just use window tinting and put it on the outside? I did it to my 350Z reverse lights and it worked great. Never tried it on headlights though. Let me know if anyone tried this because I would like to consider it for my new 09 Maxima.
