Rep Power: 0 I'm just posting a fact to improve the ratio of useless replies : useful replies.
There are many ways to do this, I would do it once it gets warmer.
automotive tint
hobby paint
theres another way, i forgot
Lets go setup a date, I'll go look for more methods...
I think best method is use hobby paint.

Rep Power: 0 Compliments from CSI
Count me in, will orange = red after tint?
Hey, thanks for the compliments! Here are the steps:
1. Prep. Most important; after removing lights, use rubbing alcohol to remove ALL dirt, smudges and such.
2. tape off areas you want to leave stock: i.e. reverse lights. Use either painters tape (blue) or electrical.
3. get krylon/ testers candyapple red/ true red stained glass window spray (interior/exterior). Follow instructions on can.
4. use very light coats. I cannot stress this enough...Patience creates art.
5. let each coat dry for 10-15 min. before adding a second/third coat. I only used 2.5 for my desired tint.
6. Let dry overnight; however, the tint is dry to the touch after 2 hrs.

Rep Power: 0 LMAO, haha, I guess all of us have done something illegal to the car then just shrugged...
My front turn signal is blue, but lights up white... My parking light is blue and I've been too lazy to change it back to white, haha...

Rep Power: 0 Where in the HTA does it say white turn signals are prohibbited from public roads? None, so its not illegal, yet you might get hassled. Besides white turn signals are definately nasty, especially in altezzas, you can barely see... oh man don't you live those cars whos you can't see their lights due to gay euro lights, lol, cant the guy who rear ends say his lights were not function properly thus driving an unsafe vehicle.
