Headlight and foglight upgrades to my GTS

Hey guys, tried searching this specifically on this forum, but to no luck, hence posting here.

I have a 2010 GTS Auto with a clear front headlight casing (I have applied a legal dark mesh wrap called SPI Vision film on top of these headlights to give them a dark appearance). I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with having their headlight casings painted to the dark matt finish, as seen on the GTS MC-Shifts and the Stradales? Any recommendations for where to get this done, any pros/cons and potential costs?

Furthemore, I wanted to look at the possibility of having my foglights upgraded to LED bulbs. I've manually added LED lights to my rear numberplate trunk lights, and even though these were certified to be error free in accordance with my car's CAN Bus setup, they still set off an error on my dash. They do look bright and really stand out well, so the error message is a small price to pay.

Again, any one with any experience on changing these or any recommendations from where to get this done? I've seen some YouTube videos where GT owners have changed their front foglights and even some of the halogen bulbs within their main headlights into LEDs, though the steps are a tad more complicated as they involve reaching and removing the lights in a a very controlled manner. I'd rather have these done professionally.

Help and tips are much appreciated!

Yes - me too - I am looking for a headlamp split and paint job on one of my QP V GT S headlamps as the inner shell grey paint is bubbling. D2 Detail used to offer this service (via Shiltech) but are no longer trading. I have asked the question of Detailing World but no joy yet. I am reluctant to try this myself given the costs of the headlamp units and my propensity to screw things up!

Will keep you posted if I find out anything helpful.
