I'm bored with clear lights...how bout this?

I was sitting there on my porch staring at my silver 2k1 and my cleared headlights...and they just look so plain...so i was thinking..what if i were to take out the clear reflector...and make it amber...and then stuck in some amber signal 7443's...hmmmm interesting

i've fooled around with photoshop to see what this would look like but i'm not having any luck...what do u guys think of this idea? i might try it here in a few days...

Sounds sweet. But the idea of CLEARED HEADLIGHTS is to look plain. Go for it. Post some pics of it too and i might change my mind about this mod.

I painted the flat chrome on the insides of the headlight charcol like the interior and all the other trim pieces of the car, it isnt TOO obvious but it does turn heads
