    High temp paint.. Just be sure that you've taped off the reflecting parts VERY WELL, so you don't get runs or any overspray in them.

    the hard part is actually opening it up.. you need to heat it in an oven and then pry it or something to open it up.

    ive already opened my headlights to do the angel eye mod. i used a dremel. pain in the ass. so now i apparently didnt seal the lights tight enough so there is condensation on the inside. now i figure when i open them up ill just paint the headlights and then seal it real good

    Why didn't you buy smoked headlights to begin with?? It prob. would have cost the same and would save you alot of time and effort.
