Icon2 96-98 Ek Civic Headlights

Hi ppl! Have a question about some headlights I see here online. Does anyone know how this person would have gotten his corners fully amber like this? I keep finding headlights with just amber bulbs in the corners or amber reflectors but never full deep amber/orange like this. Any specific brand/type? DIY job?

The inside of the turn indicator is chrome plastic, just like the headlight reflector. It looks like it was masked off and painted, just like jbretz stated. Looks pretty decent too

Nice, and that would be chroming in the indicator section and using an orange/amber bulb for the chrome to reflect right? .. and then just paint the housing black

The turn signal part is chrome, comes like that stock, and the person painted it orange.
