My question is why? The purpose of having aux driving lights is so you can see more and farther. By tinting them you would be negating any of that.

Also notice on the black magics it is the reflector that is black not the lens.

As for what Mark said, I agree I think they would melt tint. I am not familiar with the spray other than on tail lights

What he siad. If all you need is looks, then by all means spray paint them black. Otherwise, why even bother installing them?

i have the headlights on my 05 passat TDI tinted with some precut ebay tint stuff... the rear are great... look great and everything... but now about a month later the fronts starting to bubble right where the center of the light is... installed silverstars and there now getting worse... gonna have to strip them... so tint like windows NO will now work... the spray stuff sucks... tried it on my dodges tail lights... was gray... only got black once the light never came through it again... had to buy new tail lights... lol... that was VHS nightshades actually... the nice high dollar stuff from summit... buy fog light covers in black... be done with it... like stated above its kinda stupid for usage but i guess it would make it look better if you were going for a blacked out look... although i like the blueish tinted lights on a blacked out truck... looks frickin sweet...
