The black looks good. I wouldn't paint it the same colour as the car, that would look crap.

Doesn;t look too bad, though it need some sort of continuation of that theme throught the blinkers as well.

There was a mob selling headlights like that for a few hundred on Ebay, I once had a go at doing it myself but didn't like it in the end. On some cars it works very well though. Good on you for the effort.
