Can you paint lights?

I'm looking at purchasing some of these:

I just want to know if I can paint the non lights bit black, would it look well and how much would it cost.

Think these are my favourite lights but are too chromey for me and probably my car.

Its been done before i think..

Will look pretty much the same as angel eyes

Yeah it has been done. Someone from over on the continent did it iirc. I thought it looked alright.

Will just need splitting then resealing, usually done by putting them in a oven to melt the seal

Yeah although he sanded down the outer bit and that made them look awfully hazey if you get me.

I was thinking more like this:

I just prefer the layout of the other lights. So is it possible to basically just blacken them and put a clear outer cover on?

 

[sir--fox]

Is it okay to put a clear cover on then instead of the one with lines, or does that effect something?

Anyone? Order pending so would like to know. I presume it's some reflecting thing?
