Smoking Headlights

Has anyone smoked their own headlights? What did you use to do it? How did you do it? How did it turn out? Suggestions?

I would like to see what you are talking about. It sounds like they would look pretty clean. If someone could please link a pic or site.

I was teaching snowboarding one day when this girl had a 2k1 civic. We were talking about mods and she said she bought this spray stuff from Canadian tire and she sprayed it on the inside of the headlights to give them a darker appearance. I've wanted to do it ever since, although she messed up on one and so it fogs up a bit. The only other problem she had was that people had trouble seeing her turning signal when it was on. I guess she smoked them too much? I dunno. If anyone knows anything about this, let me know. THanks.

I saw the thread about spray paint cans that match your car color. I wonder if that will work as well?
