Does Painting Your Headlights...

Hey I really want to paint the inside of my headlights black to match my car like this:

My question is, since you paint the chrome black does it make your headlights dimmer? Does the chrome help reflect light out to make it brighter? Should there be anything to worry about?

you dont paint the reflector part, so it should be fine.

Ended up not being able to get the pieces apart (using the oven) so I just put them back in my car.. :/

second try is the charm you might also want to get a used set in case you decide to go back to a stock look..
