Default Protoform R9-F Headlights

Hey guys. I need some help. I have a Protoform R9-F and the head lights are shaped so weird. I want to go with the shape of the dimples. I don't know how to get something to go good with the weird shape. Does anyone have pictures of one they painted to give me some ideas? I am not real good with painting headlights but normally just do a silver and black thing but thats doesn't work on the R9-F. I have drawn out other ones and they don't go good either.Right now that is the one of the last things I need to finish on the body. Thanks.

I'm not much of a painter, but I love designing things... So I started playing around with ideas and managed to come up this design. They are heavily inspired by Roly's style, hope you like them.

It is still a foam centric body. I imagine a rubber version should be coming soon.
