I also don't think it will look good on a white car, but you can have someone photoshop the picture and you'll find out.

what if you painted it the same color as your car? Also h.i.d output shouldn't be affected cause your hids are in a projector and don't reflect off the chrome part on the headlight.

What sort of paint would you use to do that? Hi-temp engine enamel?
