are you talking about the black plastic that basically surrounds the headlight itself? If so....why? nobody ill ever see it since it is only visible when the headlights are on, and it is a little less obvious for bugs guts on black plastic, then it is on white painted plastic.....just my 2 cents though. if it is a must though, just use some matte white paint. if your car is plain jane white, then it doesn't matter. I don't suggest gloss though because then the headlights will glare off of it and blind other motorists
