Question Driving light glass paint?

Does anyone know if there is a paint or spray coating that I can paint my driving/fog light lenses with? I have the HID headlights on my Corvette and dont want the driving lights to look all crappy yellow. I know that I can not sheath the bulbs because it will burn up from the heat and I know that I cant paint the bulb itself so I thought maybe I could paint the lens? Need some help......................

Ah, stage lighting, now that may be an option. I am sure that if they do not have the specific tint or paint they could steer me in the right direction at least. Thanks

I have no idea if they make them for my foglights? I am cheap and do not want to spend $180 for coplete new HID set. The bulb that goes in my existing foglights is a 880 or 893. How would I find out if there is a blue bulb for that application?

Ive tried everythin to paint the bulb before buyin my PIAA light. in my understandin, noway to paint bulbs since it will fade in 5 min. it's better off buying hyper white lights. there are cheap ones that only goes for like $20

yeah you can probally find a hyper whie bulbs for pretty cheap. look at eurolite or apc, they usually ahve them the cheapest. also from the stage lighting store you can get something called a gel. there 12" by 12" sheets of light filters. you could custom cut them and make them the shape of your foglight fixture and attach them somehow like with silicone or rubber cement or something.
