Is there any way to get pseudo MR amber turn signals for my IX tails/headlights? I really like the look of the amber turn signals, but I dont think its worth spending the money on whole new MR lights, especially when I dont have the (not so good looking) VIII chrome tails. Is it possible to take apart the tails and put in new signals?

 

i did clear orange vinyl for my tails all you needs is that and a razor blade

how did you open the side markers up? ...or did you paint over it?

 

Look up EvoDave. He paints em for 50 bucks i think. I believe i also found em on a website for 25 bucks. If i can find them ill post back up.

You can add these while you're at it.

 

You can paint them for a few bucks. Just take them off and spray the outside of the lens. It takes about 5 minutes. I painted mine around this time last year, and have no problems.

 

where did you find the amber paint?

 

I borrowed it from a friend. I always see that stuff at local tuner shops though. Pep boys most likely has something similar.

*edit: I thought you meant sidemarkers b/c of redevo8's reply. I have only painted my sidemarkers, so I'm not sure how this would turn out on tail/headlights.

 

That looks really good. Did you do your headlights, too? Got any more pics?

 

i tried my headlights with the vinyl but it was too stiff to wrap around the headlight so i only did the tails the side marker paint i just painted over the outside after some light sanding 5-6 coats on the outside and your good , you can get the paint off of ebay check out post two to find out the seller about 6 bucks for a diy'er

 

 

Or you can buy the overlays from Bluebatmobile, these things fit like a glove and no trimming is necessary..
