Default How hot does headlight housings get?

Does anyone know how hot headlight housings can get? I am guessing not that hot...shouldn't exceed over 200 degrees right?

I am planning on painting my fogs and headlight housings and noticed that the clear coat I have says not to apply if piece exceeds over 200 degrees....

Thoughts anyone?

Hot, but not hot enough. Paint it whatever you like.
