Yes they can be painted. Just remove the plastic shroud from the fog light assembly, paint it, reassemble and install. Easy.Be sure to scuff it with a 3M scuffing pad, wipe it down with a tack cloth, and put at least 3 coats of paint. When dry, wet sand with 1500 grit sandpaper and clearcoat it. All materials are available at your local automotive paint dealer. If you don't do it correctly, the paint will flake off very quickly, probably after the first wash.
