Default Can 2g headlights be re-painted?

this might be a stupid question but I have to know, can that glass cover be removed to repaint the headlight?

If it's actually glass, yes.

The insert in the glass headlights can be painted or even changed out. 94 3000GT headlights match the color of the car. 94 Stealth headlights are always black but the insert can be changed out, although Stealths always have black lights.

Those are glass and the inserts are able to be painted or switched out.
