Personally, I'm thinking of keeping the shrouds/caps chrome like you did, then going with a gun-metal finish on everything else, with a simple amber swoop to match the side-marker. And one headlight with the Custom180 decal in white. So assuming Custom180 does the work.
Anyway, thanks for posting the pics.
Two sets of headlights? Wow.

I like that look, keeping the caps chrome, and painting the rest. No so much digging all the extra LED's and whatnot, but the simple design change.

No problem! anytime.
Funny thing is, my decision to leave the shrouds/caps chrome, was because I saw how the M37S headlight were done from OEM.

Hence why I also left that chrome strip at the top of the headlights
When I started working on them, I was worried about the various risks that comes from heating the headlights in the oven.
But actually wasn't that hard, Started it on Friday, and finished it on Sunday night. Most of the wait was for the paint and clear to dry properly.
