the more coats you use, the more amberish the color will turn, try just 2 coats, with extra clear for protectant

yeha im not digging the yellow headlights up there either. If u really wanted yellow ones, just go buy yellow bulbs. I think there is a company that makes them. Polargs or something.

what the hell? i hope you're not serious. if you are, end yourself.

this write up has been done 100 other times already.. along with "DIY Paint Your Own Valve Cover Y0!" and "DIY AMBER CORNERS!!!!!!!!"

i guess it's the thought that counts..
