Paint the actual bulb? Once the light comes on, it will cause the paint to burn, smoke, and blow out the bulb.

It'll be awesome for about 45 seconds, do it!

you're much better off buying a new bulb than attempting to paint it, ever thought about buying real foglights?

High beams are not meant for fog. Get some fog lights and mount em low for the best result
