You can just go and buy some yellow 3000k bulbs and install them and the colour of the bulb even when it's turned off will reflect inside the housings giving it a yellow appearance. Easier than pulling your headlights apart to paint them.

Example:

My headlights are blackhoused, and running HIDs in the low beams, but had the stock high beam bulbs. Since I rarely used my high beams, I took some transparent blue paint and sprayed the bulbs. The colour of the bulb reflected in the housing giving it a blue appearance without buying new bulbs. The reflector is NOT painted. However, you want yellow, so buy yellow bulbs which will look right, and will also work correctly and not have the colour burn off them when they are turned on.


I did the same trick in my Mazda



Looks kinda crappy, but I did it as a test. I sprayed the lens blue with the same transparent paint. Had the stock white bulbs and obviously, when they were on, they lit up blue.

Hope you don't get pulled over by the cops for having blue lights (even if they're not turned on) :/

I noticed that some of you have HID lights installed. Isn't it illegal to have HID lights (no matter what degree of Kelvin) with reflectors? I thought you had to have a matte black, projector-style headlight installed to be able to run HID. Otherwise it apparently blinds oncoming drivers o.O Otherwise I'm gonna run and go get me some 6000-8000K lights immediately LOL

I only ran like that for about a week....got no heat from the cops at all. The lenses are clear again and have 3000k HIDs in them. You're allowed to have blue accessory lights on your car here, as long as they do not flash. I have blue LEDs in my licence plate lights right now and I was stopped at a Checkstop a week ago and the cop went around back to check my tags and didn't say anything about the blue lights.
