has anyone opened up tail lights to paint?

i have an idea and want to see if anyone has done this yet.. i tinted my tails with Niteshades about a year ago and they look somewhat dark and still show plenty of light through them, but i want them darker without messing with the light output anymore.
so i am thinking if i bake them in the over to open them up and paint all of the chrome inside ** except where the tail lights project the light** and seal them back up i will get the result of them appearing darker but still having the red lens and a decent amount of light output ... i also want to paint the inside of the reverse lights so the lens will still be clear but the chrome inside will be black, i dont care about the reverse light output..

has anyone attempted this yet? or am i the Guinea pig??? i thiink it will look alot better but at the same time keep the Cops from pulling me over for them not being bright enough...

i guess im getting bored and looking to invent some new DIY mods..

this is what they look like now



oh yeah, i finally painted my Roush exhaust tips!! 4.2Trimble was going to powder coat them for me but i decided to buy a $5 can of paint and give it a shot.. they came out real good!
