if i paint my housing black for my front lights, will it effect the output of light. Basically will it light up the road less or the stay the same, i figure it wont light up the road as much.

Yeah, of course it would. It's illegal also.


If you are talking about painting the piece inside of the light that everyone paints, then it's fine.


Besides, there are vinyls to tint the headlights.

Shouldn't change anything. Just be sure you only paint the housing, and not the reflectors...
