I did before I got the projector ones. Just take off the glass carefully (with a heat gun to melt the glue) and paint everything that is not a lens or reflector.

Just want to be nosey Nick, did you find that it wasnt as bright, and what spray did you use? Im thinking of using tinting spray on the front..What you think?

Tinting spray on the front will adversly affect the beam due to it shining through the tint spray.

With the way I do it, you're basically painting the non-essential bits of the headlight, all the reflectors are left unpainted and the beam isn't adversly affected :)
