    Default Do it yourself amber tinting

    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.

    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

    You would need something like this:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VANS-ORANGE-AMBER-JDM-LENS-PAINT-SPRAY-RX-8-COROLLA-XA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33717QQihZ021QQitemZ 310052509140QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

    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.
