Clear corners on amber headlights?
Has anyone tried putting the clear headlight corners on the amber headlights to see how it would look? I already put on clear tails which I love but I may put on some clear sidemarkers and corners as well. I'm not quite ready to drop a cool grand on some headlights. I think it might clear up a little of the amber for only $50 instead of $500+ for clears or $1000+ for litronics.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

I did, its not that bad depending on the color of your car.
So for $25-$30, its not a big price to pay to see if you like them or not. If you don't, it'll only take 3 mins for you to undo it.

Hard to tell with those covers... any pics without them? Or did you just do the sidemarkers and not the corners?

Yeah, i've seen that a few times... I wanted to see if anyone had tried putting the clear headlight corners on the amber lights. See if it cleans them up a little or just looks wierd.

I did it and really did not like the look. It drove me bonkers untill I replaced the headlights with clears. My suggestion is keep the amber corners it really looks bogus with just the clear corners.

I found a pic of just the clear corners on amber headlights on a 911 in my color... Not as great as I thought.

Spine, I bought me some tint spray and some gloss spray to go over it. I will tape off my lights, spray them black, gloss coat them, and photograph them to be seen here and the results judged.
I can't afford litronics right now and this was a $10 fix, incl. shipping and handling to remove the amber.

Porschekid, I think your amber against the green is great looking, by the way.

Randall, Itll be great if you can post the pics after the tinting. Did you get the Pactra brand or the Japanese Spray tint? Are you just tinting the front signals and the side markers? What do you plan on doing for the Tail Lights? Im actually planning on tinting my Amber Tail Signal Lights using the Red Spray Tint....viola! "Anniversay Edition"(All Red) Tail lights for just $10  ....I saw someone from this board with a Black Box who tinted his Tail lights Black..really nice!

I would have to agree. The two colors together work great together.
