I agree that painting would decrease the strength of the bulbs brightness. I just bought a set of 4300K phillips blue bulbs, which have the same out put of the normal bulb (55/60) But have a much higher brilliance. I would recommend these highly, they cost me approx 15$ US for each bulb so about 30 all up. I also bought some driving lights, which i think you could use also. Havent hooked those up yet, but with a power rating twice as high as muh high beam... :D

In short, dont paint. Replace. Its a simple plug and play affair
