    Well to paint the inside you'd have to break the seal, crack em open, paint, then reseal. If you rush that process, moisture and fog will get inside the housing... i havent done it myself only heard/read about it

    They painted the whole exterior lens. I was trying to lead you to that discovery on your own, but it wasn't happening.

    Plus you can't "crack" the rears open. They have to be cut.

    Dope man, I would 100% do this over paying $1400+ to replace the headlights. Unfortunately i live in cantifornia and you cant have nice things here.
