Anyone have pictures of smoked amber?

I'm debating what to do about the amber in my headlight housing. For legal reasons, I just can bring myself to remove it completely (plus I think the housing underneath it looks messy after it's removed). Has anyone left it on, but smoked it? I'm not talking about a full-on painting, but just a light smoke to make it look darker during the day. If so, do you have any pictures of what looks like during the day and illuminated at night?

Just in case you change your mind. Headlights are painted flat black, amber was sprayed with black tint.

What's under it? I need the side-marker light for legal reasons (Ohio cops in small towns are sticklers), so without the amber piece in there, is it just a bare socket? Could I throw an amber LED bulb in there and have it still look clean and elegant?

What's up Danny!! I'm trying to get pictures of all the different options on how to deal with the side-marker. Wezbian is the first person to post pictures of the amber smoked but not completely removed. I'v been looking for that forever!!
