whats everyone using to paint um? The 1500deg. paint or just reg. stuff? I did mine with Rustoleum black well see how it holds up. PLUS how much black silicone you using so it don't squeeze all into the inside and look like crap?

I don't think it will work but maybe look for some headlight covers for your year or buy some dark colored Plexiglas and make your own?
