I don't think so, they just look like lanterns now, as if there were a light source coming from the inside.

Also, I had an idea: instead of focusing on the rendering, try adding "machine" elements to your designs, like cut-lines, knobs, screws, pipes, etc. Lots of manga don't render metal in a specific way, but you can tell it's metallic because of the design. (example, pic related)
