painted fog light bulbs/headlights

I have seen people paint the interior light bulbs to change the color of light produced....I know very little about headlights and what not, but i was wondering can you paint the headlight bulbs to change the color of light produced?

I have herd about heat resistant paint?

If not the headlight bulbs how about the fog lights? i was thinking about painting them red.

If all of the above wont work, is there anyway to get red fog lights?

I wouldn't do it, Just get new bulbs, they aren't that expensive. The interior lights that were painted don't generate anywhere near as much heat. Heat resistant paint won't let any light through

One thing though....dont paint your headlights. thats just plain dumb.

red fogs are illegal, but you can contact 3B spec and buy an HID kit for your fogs and get red if you really want it
