Do you want to be able to see anything?
What can be blacked out, is already blacked out...
ha ha ha ha if you black out everything in your headlights .. you wont see anything at all .
I did it a long time ago and i wouldn't recommend it i couldn't see at all at night. So i took it off
im assuming you want black inner bezels, like the cav guys can do, right? if so, you will need to do a few things.
first, youll need to buy or make a clear lense for your lights. the stock housing wont work.
secondly, youll probably need to put projectors in, as the stock lights use the silver reflectors in the housing to distribute the light.
neither of these are easy to do or cheap to purchase, as they have to be custom made. at the moment no one makes them for your fire...one company in CA did retro fit projectors....but we have an 18 pg thread of ppl waiting a year or more to get their products. dont order from him. another company from canada made clear lenses, but he was a total dick to his customers and didnt help them when his products didnt fit right. dont order from him either.

Might sound stupid but can you take apart the headlight and find some stained glass paint and coat the inside of the lens and still see through it?
wouldn't that nightshade stuff work on the lights... or wouldn't that let enough light out?? just wondering
nite shades would work, but give a totally different look. the OP wants the "clear" factory lens, and a black inner housing.
Tabs was correct in saying to pull this off properly, you would need customs clear lenses ($80-$120), and so it is still able to get light out onto the road, you need some different kind of light projection, sonce you are getting rid of the mirror projection the car currently uses.
The easiest solution as mentioned is to mold projectors into your headlights, this is not a cheap, or easy process, but in the end the look is totally worth it IMO.
