   it may be possilbe but you can just simply buy some black ones off the shelf, much easier.
   
   why not try some smoked jewels, much better imo

   It's been done hundreds of times mate,
   not sure how the lexis lights are sealed but guessin i think all u need to do heat the adhesive aroud the light n slowly pry the glass off, remove the chrome plastic ( or mask up the bulb holders) sand the surface, prime n spray.
   Laquer is optional dependant on if you want matt or gloss, then rebuild.
