Headlight plasti dip

Is it possible to get inside the headlight housing so I can plasti dip the surrounding area black? I much prefer the led lights that are black inside but unfortunately mine are the standard non-color.

Search the R60 forums for "Joey Mod" for instructions.

Dont use plastidip inside the light housings. For that you probably want to prep it correctly and then primer and paint. I dont think Dip will stand up to the heat as well, but I am not totally certain on that.

I believe there's a heat rating on the can of up to what temperature it can take
