Yeah, you have to crack open the headlights (there's a DIY for this). You can get orange/amber translucent spray from a hobby shop or art store. Don't bother paying $40 for "JDM ORANGE HID SPRAY" someone tried to get everyone to buy from eBay. Look up spencer_homer, he did a blackhousing/orange corners/yellow high beam. Looks sick.

It was the Hobby Lobby Krylon amber spray that I had trouble with. It didn't match with the lower corners that well. It turned out just like Spencers which isn't that bad in pics but in person, it looks like the corners are tinted with carrot juice... I just recently got the VANS JDM amber spray a few days ago hopeing that this would look more amber. I'm still waiting for the TSX projos to start the retrofitting and then I'll have to crack open the OEM lights for the corner lens and swap with the gay black bar corner lens from the DEPO lights. That is of course after I make sure the retrofitting project is complete. I do need a set of working lights so the "corner lens swap and amberization" will be the last step.

You have to change the color of the clear lense, that's what we're talking about, I smoked mine

their the 194 stealth orange bulbs. Their chrome when not on and amber when on. They are the best alternative to amberizing the corner lens imo.

Krylon Stained Glass paint....kind of hard to find in hobby stores but if you cant find it then you can order it online

great stuff that gets darker with each progressive layer you psray on...and can easily be pealed off almost like a sticker whenever you wanna revert to original. only thing is (just like all types of these colored sprays) it fades over time....
