it wont affect light output at all.... all it does is give the housing a darker affect... i painted mine, i know Cryogen also painted his....

best pic I have of mine...glare becomes a big problem when trying to take a pic of black housings

just ignore the euro clear on the passenger side, I had an old black housing blow apart when a rock hit it on the highway. It's all fixed now.

I also have my how-to on my webpage.
