A sharpie will look like ****. It won't come out smooth enough over that area.

why sharpy them? it'll take twice as long and turn out purple. That's like cutting your entire lawn with a weed whacker.

You can Sharpie your headlamps, just make sure you use the extra thin fine-tip Sharpie. If i were you, I'd forget about the Sharpie and use a ballpoint pen.
