Default Painted headlight housings?

Have a look at my idea and give me your opinions.
No flames on the piss poor photoshop job. Its only to get a rough idea. Plus I have an outdated program that sucks.

I was thinking about doing that, but not sure how I'd get the paint to stick to that surface. It would look perfect if the cleared sides were also painted body color, though. Tricky stuff!

crazy coincidence. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I dont' have photoshop.

I thought while I have it taken apart to do the turn signals, why not paint the insides? But then I realized that the rear is the same, and I don't want to disect those also.

I like it, it looks better than I imagined, except for the edges of the housing, which reminds me of women's eyeliner.
