Amber headlight corner replacement?
So I'm planning on blacking out my headlight housing soon. I've seen that people just simply remove the amber reflector in the corner. But is there a clear or smoked one I can buy somewhere to replace it? I know I can just paint it black, but I'm not too sure how that will come out and how the light beneath will look through the paint. Does anyone know if they sell that anywhere, or if it looks ok without the reflector? I've been looking around with no results. Thanks!
Oh! Can anyone tell me the size of all the bulbs in the headlights?? (mainly the parking light beneath the projector, the light underneath the amber corner reflector, and the front and rear turn signal) any help Would be appreciated
and YES I've tried the "search" button already

how have you never heard of painting the inside of your headlights??!? Its one of the main threads in the DIY's section. I already know about the film over the headlights, but I dont like that look too much. Plus its just too easy

clearcorners.com sells a clear replacement strip. He's talking about painting the inside of the light, not the actual clear housing. The only issue is killing your headlight output.

What do you mean killing the headlight output? You mean the amount of light coming out? Well I obviously wouldn't paint the reflective background behind the lights, just the trimming inside the housing...

Also, does anyone have pictures of the orange strip (amber diffuser) painted black and the lights on? I'm thinking of doing this, but I'm not sure how a led light will look with it painted...

this what u mean?
i think this is the look you're going for?
these do NOT fit HID headlights (meaning if you have stock HID's, u have to use a regular bulb)
