cornerlights paint?

you know on the s14 zenki's, the front headlights have a separate corner lights? well ive been looking all over for amber colored ones to replace my clear ones. but a friend suggested that i get amber colored spray paint to just spray paint the clear corner lights to my liking, well has anyone does this? if so, how did they look and what type of spray paint did you use?
any help/ideas? thanks

i believe they make a transparent spray for exactly what your talking about but i've never done it. or seen it done. i dont know where you could get it at either. i know autobacs has it but thats not in the states sorry.

I know opinions usually don't mean crap but why do you want the ambers? From your sig (if that's your car which is what I'm assuming) all your fronts are clear. I don't know if amber corners would look good unless you're plannin on replacing the others?

Transparent Amber paint @ a hobby store backed with clearcoat. The other options are more $ - either track down a set of Tomei winker covers (basically a orange plastic cover that goes on top of the corner lamp) or even harder to find, a set of complete orange corner lamps made back in the day by some JDM company

Look for Euro turn signals. Or, get stained glass paint. Its what you usually use to paint standard foglights yellow.

hey i've been wandering the same thing! where the heck are you suppose to find those amber corners? my frontend recently got wrecked, picked up a jdm zenki frontend, its got jdm headlights, corners, jdm bumper, amber signal, and jdm amber sidemarkers. i have just the amber light bulb that makes my corners amber but day time looks kinda weird. but i wanted the ambers to match my signals and sidemarkers.
