These "should" be waterproof, for all I know. Some extra siliconing might not be a bad idea. You'll want to put the inverters somewhere dry if you can.

Make sure you get one that has a plastic casing like these do, you don't just want bare ccfl rings.

the ones i got from 3bspecialties are already water proof and work great, also got em at a good price for the pair, $22. suggested inverter mounting, far outside of the head light brackets. used mounting tape for em.

Trim black paint followed by 2 part clear on the housing. Not sure what you mean by ”outside”

I never painted that part. But any paint that works on plastic should work. I'd either sand it a little or hit it with some adhesion promoter first.
