I wouldn't Tint them, and for it to look good with headlight tints, you've got to go as light as possible, to just give it a clean smoke-look. Aside from looks, it'll hurt the light output.
Painting the insides is indeed the only good way to go, if you want the smoke look. Classier, and you don't sacrifice any light output.
During my short stint with a W220, I wanted to eliminate the hazed look from the headlights, and opted for a quick Tint-fix. I spend almost $200 to get the headlights and mirror lights smoked, and ended up selling the car a couple of weeks later.

Heh, that would explain why I couldn't find a black chrome grille anywhere. How long have you had it like this, curious to see how the paint stands up to the chips and wind buffeting.
Last time I tried a painted grille, it started chipping really quick.
