Headlight painting question

Was gonna have Evodave do them for me but time constraints doesn't make it feasible at this time or the forseeable future so I was thinking of doing them myself over an extended weekend.

Had a question though. I want to have my front like #3 in this pic I'm assuming the lower amber peice (#1 in the pic) is from the MR. Can I buy that amber peice separate? I figure I can paint that section but it would look kind of off...

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I think that amber piece is from the JDM lights. Mine has those, and the upper peice is clear, as the blinker location is different.

You should just find a few days to make this happen...why possibly ruin the lights that cost $1000+ from the dealership just to try it out. I can do them in 4 hours and have them on their way back to you if needed. Here is a few pics...btw i paint them



don't mind this one...the guy wanted the upper portion left unpainted .... but gives you a look at the amber.

yeah I would much rather have you do this as you are the "go to" guy for this, but I can't go that long without the car (shipping time). I've got a spare set of tails I just picked up for cheap and a few spare headlights from other cars I'm planning on practicing on before I open up the Evo's lights.

Thanks all.
