uhh, aren't headlights supposed to be white? it might be an idea to ckeck with your local by-laws to determine if black headlights are even legal. to me, headlights should be clean, clear and white.

headlight baking is easy, the only thing you have to have is a big oven. i did it on my rsx-s..

im kind of reluctant to do it to my infiniti projectors because they arent exactly cheap...
i might think of overlaying my headlights with tint.

sounds like you'd be better off with overlays,
if you can't have the down time.
