Do they exist?

If so, where can I buy them?

If they don't exist, does anyone have a suggestion on how to make them?

I know it might sound ricey but I hate transparent corners..

first off, are you talking about the bumper lenses, or the actual corner lights that sit right next to the headlights? if its the corner lights, ive never seen an s14 with those being amber. i think i know why too... its because it would not look right at all. my bumper lenses i painted with tamiya orange clear paint and they came out looking like stock. i guess you could do the same with the corners if you really want them amber, but then youre taking the risk of loosing the clean flow the s14 possess.

you can buy the amber bulbs just about anywhere...

12V, 5A all-glass bulb. As for the coloring, get a can of paint for lenses and spray the inside of the things.

j-z : Yes I mean the corner lights right next to the headlights..

My s14 is just like yours, zenki, black..



I think this would be great on a black car !

Where can I get the Tamiya paint?Is it available in Canada?

you can get that paint at any hobby shop. it brushes on, and make sure you put on even coats because it will be darker where its applied thicker. i dunno man, i dont think it would look that good. try just painting your bumper lenses. i wish i had a front pic to show you of my car to see how it looks. it looks really hot though because the amber bumper lenses goes with amber sidemarker on the bumper. if you painted the corners amber, well... it wouldnt really go with anything. your car though, so do as you wish. try looking in the ka section under post your ka powered ride and look for my post. there might be a front view pic of my car in there.
