Using a motorccycle headlamp for an example, it would be simple enough.
Simply sketch half of the profile of the body of the headlamp, and use the revolve function to complete the model, and then use the shell tool to hollow it out to about a .030″ wall thickness. Do the same thing with the lens and lens frame, making sure that the lens frame is .030″ larger in diameter, with a slight interior shoulder on both the body side and the lens side so that it can be assembled to the body by sliding over it and bottoming out on the shoulder, and the lens respectively.
Now you can render the body and lens frame in chrome, or colored with flames, (your choice), and the lens can be rendered in glass, for a pretty good representation of the real thing.
