Default tint or spray headlights?

i have an idea about tinting the signal light smoked color on the outside of the headlight instead of cook it in the over or maybe use a heat gun to open up the headlight housing, I thought this is an easy way to turn back to oem. how about just spray a smoke coat outside of the headlight housing? what kind of spraying i should use which is easy to turn back to oem w/out leaving marks on the headlight, i am talking about smoke color or black but can see through, thanks.

I don't think there's a way to reverse something like that. I would NOT try it.

Don't do it man. You'll hate yourself for screwing up the headlights. Either do it the right way or you'll regret it.

You can use static tint but your better off just cooking them in the oven.
