Take them out... disassemble the HID's and put them safely aside.
Heat gun around the edges of the lamps, don't concentrate too much on one spot or you'll bust your lamps. Gently pry it apart.
Make sure the black-goo doesn't get on the the reflective chrome.
Mask off. Paint. Dry. Use plumbers sealant silicone to seal up. Heat up the edges again and press the lense and housing together. Cure for 24 hours. Reinstall.
