I too wanted to paint mine. I checked ebay out to see If I could buy the blacked out headlights and keep my stock to replace after lease is up. But I think those don't work for HID or at least I couldn't find any.

Mine were painted when I did my S2000 retro but they are painted black (KH3).

There are quite a few threads on this.

I'm going to paint around the edges. Painting the low/high beam areas make the headlight look too dark.

I would just paint the whole chrome bezel part. That way it would look very clean and you don't even have to mask anything off.

Oh, yeah you would also have to mask and paint the turn signal.

That's how I did mine.

yea thats what i want but i dont want to lose the output of light with no reflective material...i guess i'd end up leaving the "mirrored" part deep in the light...this is why i want some photos! lOL ....the turn signal will be made clear at the same time

I was not talking about the reflector part, just the chrome bezel. You need to keep the reflector.
