tutorial - drawing and rendering headlights

hey mates,

I saw someone asking for a tutorial for making headlights. Sorry for my bad English while explaning it...maybe the explanation is not complete, but this is as much as I could you (by using my English skills;-)) This is what I tried... I hope someone can use it...
---------------------------------
1. First of all you make the shape of the headlight

---------------------------------
3. Inside the elipses you make other elipses that have to be standing to the front (this is where the lights will shine too)
