Default Smoked Headlights?

I don't know if this is even legal... but I think it would look badass on my car and a lot of others. Check out the car in this link. Has anyone done this? How could you do it? Is it legal?

I ran the blackouts on my car for a year. They make pressure fit covers to achieve that look. The covers look cool.. but they are illegal, greatly reduce the light output on the lights and scratch the clear lenses if left on for anywhile longer than a car show. I even tried modding my lights to all come on at once just to see.. but in the end its not worth the trouble.. you have to take them off for any safe nighttime driving. I ended up going with the whistler mod in the end.
