It will only affect the beam if you paint inside the reflector itself.

If you just do the outside areas you will be fine.

Elmer Fudpucker posted this thread on how he did it on his Blob eye.

I think quite a few people on here have done it.Not a bad job to do if your careful,but i have to admit (and i am biased) this mod looks lots better on a white car
