After you spray paint your lights blue make sure you get racing seats and stickers in japanese that mean absolutely nothing but look cool.

Yeah, watch out. . . the paint may just end up reflecting the heat and storing it in the bulb. I think the bulb will burst before the paint melts. . . recall what even a little bit of oil on a bulb will do!

Plug the bulb in but dont put it in the headlight housing.

I do believe that the bulb will start to smoke from the eat of the bulb. And it may shatter but not shure. I do know that it will smoke and the paint will burn. You can to use a high temp paiont. And spray light coats on it. The high temp paint will withstand the hea of the bulb. DO NOT PLUG THE BULB IN THE HOUSING

And stand back! Even if the paint does not melt, it will act as an insulator, and keep the heat in, rather than dissapating it to the air.
