Its probably the same amber paint people are using on their corner or bumper lights. Its different doesn't really serve a purpose.

Really? I like it, however when I do it my markers and hi beams will be the same shade. I dont like how he has three different shades of amber/bronze.

I guess if you don't like it you could always bust out the paint thinner or laquer thinner and lightly apply it until the amber is gone.....but it has to match or even a nice light yellow tint wouldn't be bad either IMO.

I really think I am just going to tint the lights, my markers, and part of the clear reflector part of my tailights. I found a local guy with a few shades of Yellow who said he would do each light for $5. I'll post some pics when its done! Should be sometime in the next 2 weeks for sure.

Not feeling it. Like the guy above said he was trying too hard on that one.

Actually I know the guy who owns teh car it is amber paint from a hobby shop, I forget the exact color he told me but it is used normally on like model cars and stuff

he actually opened the headlight housing and sprayed on the inside

I like it! I think he should get some clear signals and paint them the same color
