exactly! haha. but might need some high temp. paint though. or else it could melt.

yea, if youd wanna be cautious, but it is just the corner marker/turn signal, so i dont think its as high temp as the halogen light bulbs for the lights. if i were to do mine, i would prolly just use any old orange tint spray.

and so yesterday, i tried painting my corners orange. the results are... not so good. i have white housing right now but with that orange corner, it looks really nasty. i don't know what other way to make it orange but to me, it's not good at all. good luck to whomever wants to try it.

I would think the best way would be to just mask everything you don't want orange and paint it with transparent orange. I really wish i thought of this when i was doing my black conversion. I kept more than most people do silver to get the orange reflection from the bulb but this would look even better.
