Do it yourself amber tinting

[Revmaynard]

Does anyone know how to tint corner lights? I've tried searching online and can't seem to find anything. I have corner lights that are half clear and half orange/amber and would like to tint them full amber. Asked a few people who do tint/paint work and they said they don't do it. Info is muchly appreciated.

I can't find them online, my car isn't as easy to find parts for as it is. I have two sets of them that are stock now so wouldn't mind trying a DIY on my olds one.

[Motivation]

Is it for the cuda or another car?

[Revmaynard]

Another car, my Honda Civic wagon.

what's your point? so what they are different... take a grinder and make them fit... it'll be custom... might look like crap but still custom :tongue1:

[Revmaynard]

Mine are taller and less rounded. It would look terrible if I tried to use the cut pieces to make it taller! Lol

You would need something like this:

As someone mentioned above, you can buy Krylon paint from Walmart that would have the same effect and would be cheaper. Just spray it on evenly to your liking, then just wetsand and buff to a perfect finish.
