Default how to black headlight housing????
trying to figure out what kind of paint i should use to black out the headlight housing....i searched and searched and everyone says when you tear apart the lens you can paint the housings, BUT no one says what kind of paint to use?!? i dont think spray paint would work too well...does anyone have any suggestions how to black out the headlight housing or maybe a link to a diy that i didnt find?? thxs!!

i took mine apart already i am contemplating blacking them or just doing a silver,,ill be using automotive spray paint, one that is designed for high temps, might not be necessary but it gets hot there near the engine bay
