I removed my orange bulbs and used spray paint to color them silver. I have read else where on the forum that this does not work and the bulbs will not flash bright enough. I disagree with this statement. I left one orange (stock) bulb in one of my tail-lights, and then put a silver spray painted bulb in my opposite tail-light, then turned on my hazard lights. The color and brightness difference between the two flashing bulbs was barely noticeable. For not costing anything but a can of paint and no waiting for shipping, this seems like a decent option.
