You have a few options for black out headlights.

You can paint your headlights. There are a few write ups on here.
Hella makes a blackout headlight.
If you want OEM, the Harley Davidson headlights are black.
There are quite a few ebay or other brand blackout lights also.

The first three options I listed are the most popular. I will probably go with the Hella heads myself.

I'm goin with the Hellas. I already have the Hella tails and 3rd brake light set, and I plan on purchasing the Hella grille also. I figure that combo should work for me.

I say paint your own, I wouldn't take it hard from that price tag. If your patient and good with spray paint it can be done for $7.00

Krylon Fushion black paints adhere well for plastics. The work of removing the lenses are a little nerve racking since you bake the light in the oven for 10 mins at 200 degrees, then pry it apart with a flathead driver. Basic sanding and painting, and re-gluing the lens back on.
