Boxster 02, thanks for your comments! As for the lights, this may sound a little crazy but I found a product called VHT Nightshades at my local Advance Auto Parts store. It is an aerosol based product. I masked off the headlights and wet-sanded the amber part of the light with 2000 grit, cleaned with alcohol, and then applied the paint. I only put two coats on mine, as not to create too much of a problem when getting inspections. Once I had the desired tint I clear coated them and polished them out with Maguiars Polish compound. You can still see the turn signals with no difficulty as well! You can search it on youtube and find various posts of people doing this application.

Best of Luck!
