jdm corners with the bump, yo.
i still love amber, though. so i had to keep the amber bulbs, but i don't like that egg yolk look so i took some advice from redlude97 and lightly coated them with chrome paint. total cost was $6 and change for the paint. for those interested in doing this don't forget to tape off the contact points. also, use a very light coat. when you hold it up to a light you should still be able to see through the bulb...
before

after

the alternative is buying them..

too much more and the light won't shine through. when you hold it up to the sky or another light source you should still be able to see through the amber glass.

I think I might try doing this, too.

I saw the alternatives before... they're so expensive for such a small lightbulb.

*EDIT* Wow, I guess it pays not to be lazy and click on the links
. Calvin, your alternatives aren't as expensive as the ones I saw... which were like $10 not including shipping.
Eh, not too bad.

Nice Calvin. I think i like the amber on your car too, but since i have the tinted clears, i need to do this chrome paint "mod".
The 3/10 overlays from Bats match very well with DG. Might want to try that if you don't like how clear it is.
