Buy some krylon stained glass and then go to the hobby shop and buy model car window tint.

stock corners painted look like poop because of the dumb reflector.

I understand it looks the same...Agree 100%

But my point is that they arent REAL jdm if they arent stanleys with the orange reflector inside.

Back to the point:

Just get some cheap amber corners...

i used tamiya orange from the hobby store along some tamiya clear coat for plastic. it was great in the summer, but they crack during the winter time when it gets too cold. it would be cheaper in the long run to just buy some fake amber (than keep painting them), but they're a bitch to find if you dont buy them online.
