Question for ParticleWave and Nine8Six

I have two sets of headlights. The old halo's with amber (low miles took them off the car with less than 9k miles) and my current Litronics. I also had a third set of clear halo's but I sold those for $700 like a dummy a while back. On the Litronics, the passenger side had to be replaced after a small fender bender in a parking lot (other guys's fault). I made the mistake of not pushing his insurance to replace both sides so they would match. Well sure enough the driver's side has begun to quickly turn yellow/green along the eyelid area. The clear lens is cloudier too but I'm sure that part can be restored. I've been wanting to paint the inside of the lights black or anthracite since that mod was first posted.
With that in mind should I:

1) Buy a new Litronic, or maybe Ebay (although these are never cheap either).
attempt surgery to paint the inside of both.
2) Retrofit the old dormant halo's with amber. (have no idea what the cost will be)
3) attempt a lense swap on the problematic Litrnonic, paint the inside.
4) De-Litronic, buy this new Pelican kit, paint the inside. This seems like the only way I'm going to get Nine8Six's kit (best mod ever) into my headlights.
