I assume the black chrome headlights are from the Sportdesign version ?
How much are we talking about, even at Steve's prices. Over $1k each I'll guess?
Dis-assembling the headlights and painting them black is the next closest thing and the cost would be minimal.
Black chrome is awesome, but I think it will cost ya.

If you count the number of turns, then you should be able to tighten them back up by the same amount.
This needs to be done properly or your headlight alignment will be off.
I am in the process of having my OEM headlights re-done in TRUE Black Chrome. I expect to get the job done in the next couple of weeks.
I'll post once I have something done. I'm hoping that this will be a cheaper alternative to buying the Sport Design headlights. If I can get good results at a reasonable price, I'll try to offer this service to others.

It's not that bad, but you basically have to unscrew the horizontal and vertical alignment bolts in order to get the ballast socket cable out. It requires about 50 counter-clockwise turns to get it out.
