    Never done it but my tip would be do it with decal vinyl. Cut your shape, color match with rattle can paint, heavily windex light with windex (ammonia free), apply decal. The windex keeps the adhesive from making a good bond until fully dried so you can easily position and or remove if you don't like it. Wash rinse repeat until you find the look you want.

    Make some hand cut templates from a thin cardboard like cereal boxes and stuff like that so you can use masking tape to hold it in place on light

    Buy em, use em to mark your lights, paint your lights, sell the em. Or put painters tape on your light, and draw out what you think you will like. Remove tape and place on a piece of paper then cut it out. Use it as a template to make your marks on the lights.
