Do you have xenons? If you just have halogens you could get the euro spec style headlights with silver/gray reflectors instead of orange for what I consider to be a price worth doing it.

And yes, you'll have to cut it open, heat gun won't work.

Best way is to open the headlights and vinyl over it. OSS did mine
