   80% sure you can mate. I think you just use lighting smoke spray which you can get from many car shops ie. Demon Tweeks etc. Dont trust me on it though - i just think you can as i've seen many cars with smoked angel eyes

   No no no, you take the lights apart and do the chrome bit matt black, and then seal them back up.
