Headlights Tinted

Does anyone know a good shop in the area, preferably VA side, that can do a good job on tinting headlights? I've tried Winners in MD (They said they couldn't make it fit) and designo in Sterling (couldn't do it without cutting at the eyebrow).

I'm not feeling all the chrome in the housing. It stands out like a sore thumb with my car being so dark. Plus I'm not interested in paying $900-$1200 to get them blacked out, just to be out of warranty on a very expensive part. I got screwed by OSS a couple years ago and have been reluctant to ship my lights ever since.

I tried Lamin-x both times, it's for the M4.

Had two try, apparently the angle of the lens is too sharp to make it fit. I'd be interested but my goal was to do it before MPACT, which won't be possible now.
