You are gonna get what you pay for. Another option is vinyl. Go to any vinyl graphics place and see if they can get the smoke (clear)vinyl. When it's on the lights it blacks them out. When the lights come on, it's like it's not there. A friend of mine just put some on his car. It actually looks pretty good. As far as painting them, that's your call. What if you don't like it when it's done? Will you be able to get the paint off? The vinyl will peel right off with no damage to the lenses. Just my 2 cents.
