Yeah,any paint shop will do them for you. You will probably have to open up your headlights for them though because they won't want to be liable for them in that regards.

Dude, just get some flat black high temp paint, and paint the headlamps yourself...

VERY simple.... a lot of my friends have done it...

Just make sure not to paint the chrome around the light.. or else you won't be driving at night. ;-)

I bought covers for my headlights. Check out my page at cardomain and you will see what they look like. They make the headlights look like the nightrunner headlights. I think I paid $46.00 for them. I just installed siverstar bulbs in the headlights and fog lights. They are worth every penny I paid for them. They are so much better than the standard bulbs. A nice bright light. Get the H13ST and the 3157AST for the headlights and 9145ST for the fog lights.

i think you should buy the night runner headlights . i got mine from dodgeparts.com for $330.00 . the thing about painting them if you screw them up getting them apartyou would have to by headlights anyway. if you found some one to paint them i would worry about how they would turn out you know runs and stuff. and can you black out the gray edges any way?and what would it cost to have it done ? buying the night runner headlights is a sure thing , and you can turn around and sell your old one on ebay if you wanted to . this is what i went through when i was looking at black headlights. the factory night runner headlights are done right and look amazing !!!!! hope this helps.
