bb6's never had black housing (i'm pretty sure)

now you can take it apart to paint the inside black

No one makes them, it's something you'll have to do yourself. It's actually pretty easy to do. I believe there's a write-up floating around somewhere on this board. I've had to do several myself since I do retrofits, and since the lights are already taken apart, people ask me to paint the insides as well

thanks for the help....i heard that to do it you gotta put em in the oven to melt the glue holding it together, paint it, and put it back in the oven. is this correct? i looked for the write up on this but no luck.
