I have a feeling that the coverage of your lights will be dramatically reduced due to the fact that the entire housing has been painted black; which will absorb the lighting spectrum, and therefore, the light coverage is reduced.

Do you see the unpainted parts? Those parts are the reflectors used by the low beam, so his low beams are completely unaffected.

If you look at the blacked out part below the untouched reflectors, those are the reflectors for the high beams. His high beam is completely useless now.
