CLEARING LIGHTS AND GETTNG SOME BODY WORK DONE
Ok i had a passenger side mirror broken, dent in passenger door and scratch on rear bumper and finally dropped it @ bodyshop. I will be going back to the shop to pick up the lights so I can clear them. By end of next week everything will be ready and then pics will be here for u guys.

Amber lights are a federal law and when you turn on your signal or emergency flashers must glow Amber. There is no law that says your Amber lights have to look Amber while not on.
There are lights out there that look silver and shine Amber but are expensive.
There is a cheaper rout to go by carefully spray painting your current amber lights with a thin coat of High Temp Silver paint. This is what I did. Take a shoe box cut a hole to hold the lamp and to prevent spray on the copper portion lightly spray. Let dry and reassemble. wham bam, your done and you will be satisfied.
These are OK, and I have them on my vehicles and look great. Every once in a while a cop will stare at my vehicle, but once I turn on my signal to make a turn etc., they go onto to taking a bite out of crime with more important things to do than harass me.

ok i got some pics for ya'll.... i will drop them off @ bodyshop soon and will get the car begining of next week and then i'll have more pics.... but here enjoy few, and let the flames begin :flamesuiton:
and yes i changed my mind, first i cut the reflector and painted silver and it didnt look good so then i decided to remove the whole reflector and paint the inside chrome black. I like them so I dont care but still want ur opinion... but ur opinion wont matter now cuz they're done.
Once they go on the car, it'll look better IMO, i've seen few CLs, and TLs with blacked out lights.
first choice: http://www.pifiu.com/upload/uploads/052004/fukdup1.jpg
then final choice

Whatever color the bulb is coated will reflect inside the headlight..
