It would make a big difference on your car since your headlight has alot of chrome to paint. What me and my friend did on my car was heat it up, pry it appart and painted the chrome part flat black. It might take a while for you to get them appart since your headlights are so long

use a heat gun, like a metal hairdryer that gets WAAAYYY hotter.

make sure not to heat it too much, or the plastic will turn white and look like crap. get something like a thin flathead screwdriver to pry with. TAKE YOUR TIME. if you crack your headlight, im sure they are about 500 bucks each to replace.
