    7-0 in favour of yes, do it. smoking them looks good on all saxos, regardless of colour. black goes with any colour

    you will need a primer and black gloss paint, which u can get from halfrauds. You can lacuar but seens its in the light unit i wudn't bother.

    Ill be putting my original headlights on ebay wen i get a chance, saves u having to wait for the paint to dry

    Voted: Yes Go For It.

    Looks nicer, specially if you do other bits black e.g wheels, badges and smoke the indicators, fogs etc.

    I'd do it if you intend to add some more smoked details otherwise I wouldn't bother.

    Do it!!!! Get them done while the dent is getting fixed!!! Then you get both done while the car is not running (leaving sealant to set on headlights)!!!
