I don't think you can since the headlights are sealed. But could have been the foglights are sealed, can't really remember.

All you have to do is use a heat gun to unseal them, paint the housing, then re-seal with aftermarket sealant. I did it on my old car and it never leaked, though it really was a headache and quite nerve-racking.
