the whole point of me posting was to find what color did the people use when theirs came out right and not like yours. i don't want mine amber and i know which krylon one you used and even on the can it doesn't look yellow, but a more golden color.
you must have use the one all the way to the left. i want the fogs yellow not amber. oh and btw i found the paint i needed. it the tamiya translucent paint that can be found at

You can use Aircraft paint remover to take off the paint, it's safe on glass.
It isn't worth painting the lights, I painted mine and it's already starting to chip even with four coats of clear.

Not to steal your post or anything but i plan on doing this but i want mine amber but i was wondering how long the paint will last on the lenses or can i just buy amber lenses? Also what did you use to cut out the area for the fog lights?
