I would just scuff them up a bit and then use some duplicolor.

Are you talking about the inside or outside of the light?

Just tape off the lens, scuff them up a bit, spray on some primer, then give them 3 coats of spray paint.

^^ Expensive. Also you dont really have to worry about rock chips on the back of a light.

if you can get them for really cheap, take them apart and get them powder coated.
