Default Painting headlights?

I was thinking about getting my headlights done so the inside would get painted black (not getting the lenses smoked), but I have a slight worry about this. It seems to me that having the reflective silvers pieces inside probably gives you a better range of light. My question is does anyone with painted lights have any experience if this changes how well you can see at night?

If it's HID, you won't have a problem.

The Bi-Xenons will not have an issue. The lights before that you should leave the area around the light unpainted so that it directs the light better.

I believe it was in 2002 and Mike @ Clearcorners was the father of 350Z black housing.

Here is my DIY if you're willing to take on the challenge. Very easy but of course I have done so many that is why I think it is easy.
