Send Volcom27 a PM. I know he painted his EK headlight housings. Cant be much different. They look really nice too. You might actually even be able to search his tread he wrote on it and look at the pics and see what you paint.

I think it would be neat if you just paint the walls on the side and not the back. Hope it doesnt fog up a few says later when its sealed.

yeah if you paint the reflector you wont be able to see shit, if you paint the just the chrome housing it will look good, but still minimize visability.
