ok, i have a GREAT solution to your orange bulb issue.
my amigo DuckBlue and I recently spent the time buying el cheapo Auto Zone orange bulbs and using a similar paint (like the one you used on the headlight area) to paint the bulbs silver.
I forgot the name of the company that makes the product, but it's called High Heat. It's a series of paints that can withstand 1200 F of temperature. the can shows it being used on BBQ's and stoves and all kinds of very hot places. We used the silver paint.
The idea is to put a light single coat of paint on, then let dry for about 30 minz. The effect is incredible. During the day, no nasty orange reflection, but they shine orange. well, enough to be legal (they are kinda dim). at night they light up and blink orange, again bright enough to be dim.
I'm not sure if DuckBlue posted any pics yet, but here is the link

definitly worth the $4 spent......

here's the direct links to the pics showing the difference
http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/truckglue...iew=t&.hires=t
left is original, right is painted
and it still shines orange when you blink
we got the idea from edub-tl, i think.. read his post a long time ago, just got around to doing it last weekend. do a search and i'm sure you'll find his thread. basically we just wrapped the bulb (with duct tape) and sprayed it. and for convenience, we just used another piece of tape to "hang" it dry
the difference is much more apparent in the protege pic though.. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/truckglue...iew=t&.hires=t
oh yeah, feel free to look at some other pics.. like the neons.. hint hint..
