Painting headlight reflectors on Non-RS?
I hate the look of Non-RS headlights, and im going to be baking opening my lights soon to add Halos. My question is can i use some sort of plastic paint to paint the mirrors/reflectors in the headlight to a reflective black? Or will that not reflect good enough/ paint will melt?

You wont get any light output if you paint the reflectors...you could paint them if you did a projector retrofit while you have them open though

Go in your bathroom, leave the lights off and close the door. Shine a flashlight in the mirror. Pretty damn bright. Now shine the flashlight onto something black. Not very bright. Same thing with painting your headlights. Not very bright.
