Default All those doing clear corners... found some bulb paint

<center><img src="http://us.st7.yimg.com/store2.yimg.com/I/streetbeatcustoms_1783_26861763"></center><p>since the TT likes to be difficult and no one makes replacement bulbs I did some research and found this.

Its made in japan.... Vans bulb paint.

Comes in purple, blue, green, yellow, red, smoke, silver and ORANGE!!!

I think this is what sTTanford used when he did his clear corners.

Something to consider anyways<ul><li><a href="http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/bulandtailli1.html">Bulb and lamp paint</a></li></ul>

Default Nice option, but keep in mind that it does eventually wear off :(

I used that on my boost gauge lighting a few times. Looks great for a couple of months, but the heat eventually takes its toll on the color. I used red, so it was much more noticable because it began to appear pink. Amber will probably not be as difficult.

Default you know... I wonder

if you called that LED place, if they would have a record of your order and the part numbers you got? or if they are on the bulbs themselves?

I don't want to bug you about it or anything.. but man it would be nice to know which bulbs you have... not just for me but for the bunch of other people who just ordered the clear corners too.

I'm going to go ahead and paint mine.... but one day I'll have to pull everything again to install some samco hoses etc and could swap them out.

sorry if I'm being a pest about it. I don't want to annoy you or **** you off lol!!!! If so you can just tell me off and I'll go away
