You may want to find some clear bulbs that still blink amber too, but its not necessary (so the bright orange doesn't poke through the clear lens).

Other than that, its not that bad to do, but have a friend help you out.

good tip, Kevin. It used to bug me and I was going to look for those clear-look/blink orange bulbs but I'm too lazy now.

Lig I got smoked But went with USDM which I thought you had but yours look JDM in those pix. As for bulbs im going to go with the tutorial (on ricks2k.com) to paint them part silver and use orange sharpie to make them light up orange.

Anyways I'm stuck. Ricks instructions say to disconnect all power the the headlights and that there are 4 points, but doesn't say where they are located.

Once you get the headlight out, you'll see what you need to disconnect.

BTW- you can buy an orange blinker bulb, and paint part of it silver (I painted the visible part of the bulb silver, but left the side facing the reflector exposed, so it looks silver from the outside but blinks orange. For the parking light, they make LED's that are clear, but are orange when lit.
