Painting headlights white to match body

I see a ton of people either painting or swapping for the Harley blacked out headlights. Has anyone actually painted them to match the paint using Dupli-Color to ensure a 100% match? If so could you post some photos ?
Just purchased a 06 150 xlt Scab and looking to mod it out a bit before winter .

it can def. be done....I think I remember one member with a white truck that did it...looked great, don't remember who it was.

I think it would look great on a white truck....not sure about other colors (except black of course)

I say go for it...will make your truck unique

I think I've seen white and red done, maybe blue. Just can't remember who they were.

Don't see why it'd be illegal since the reflector is left unpainted.

In case no one bothered to click on the links I listed above, these are some of the pix of people who've done it.

Well yea. I had listed the links, but no one seemed to be clicking them. Granted, I should have probably just quoted you and posted that...
