I've found that the unpainted black buckets go for about $20 on eBay, so I'll probably try this at some point. Don't want to drill into my color matched painted stock ones.
Check the laws concerning headlights in your state. Some have rules about not covering the headlights.

I have been tempted to at least seal the gap around the headlights. Having the pressure zone in the front would be better then the air headed in the messy engine compartment.
