Black coupe with black headlight housing

Does anyone have a coupe or a picture of a coupe that is black with matching black headlight housing? I was thinking about painting my housing to black but i wanted to see it first. Any input would be GREATLY appreciated.

do a search for headlight overlays, i remember seeing a black coupe with them. overlays would be over the headlight whereas painting the housing would be under the lens, but it looks the same.

a guy on here did mine, but he retired from doing them. I think the bat overlays are nice but they dont look as good as actual black housings. But on the other hand its a helluva lot riskier since you have to oven your headlights. Its up to you
