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?

Should not be to hard to do...

If I were to do my White Versa sedan... I would do black housings and clear reflectors.
