We have zero aftermarket headlights for our cars. It's either USDM or JDM Projectors, or custom work.

take them apart, and spray them black yourself
it's pretty easy, i did it also for my projector housing

use a heat gun to soften up the glue and carefully pry it apart, take out the parts u want to paint, wet sand it with maybe 5-600 grit paper, spray on 3-4 coats, let it dry, buy some adhesive silicone and put it all back together

if you are going to spray, use vht nightshades, its translucent, it wil let light through and give you the smoke look you want.
and dont spray the bulbs laugh.gif
