Tinting headlights?

okay i like my exterior nice and clean looking. my car will (haven't bought it just thinking of ideas) be a black ex coupe. i want to get some gunmetal 17 or 18 velox vx-8's, some medium tint for the windows, and maybe i'll lower it an inch or two. if i ever got a body kit it would be a while down the road, there are too many things i want to do. anyway my question is could you lightly tint your headlights so it looked like it was dark crome? anyone have pics? there might be posts on this but i searched and couldn't find a good answer. i know you can black out your heads/tails but i just want a dark crome look. is there a better way of getting that look?

You mean applying some tint film to the entire headlight cover? I was thinking about that too! Maybe 50% or lighter...
