Painting the Inside?
Has anybody tried painting the inside of a clear sidemarker before? I know there are several members here who have put a heat gun (or hairdryer) to headlights or put them in the oven in order to pull the lens off and paint them. Wouldn't this work the same for the sidemarkers? I think I am going to try it this weekend to get a black interior while maintaining the clear lens on the outside. I figure the worst case is I completely mess up a pair of $20 lenses and I can just put the stocks back in for the moment and get a pair of body color ones from Evosport.
Not sure what to do about the bulb though... I am thinking go with an amber stealth look.

if they pulled you over that only means you either have one good one and one broken or you have clear marker with regular non-amber bulbs.
no sidemarker = they don't even know there's suppose to be one on our car.

Help me pick which clears to get!
Okay guys,
Tried to start a poll but it looks like there's some kind of glitch in the system or something (or some admin is tinkering with my post while I'm editing it)
I'm pretty torn up over which set of clears to get. Please help me out. If anybody actually owns one of the sets shown, please give me your $0.02 as well. The good, the bad, and the ugly
For the record, I plan on sticking some amber bulbs (5W5, same size as original) into these clears.
Thanks guys.
Clear 1 - ebay Euro-style
Clear 2 - Kayee
Main differences I noticed are a) the bulb area for Clear 2 is textured, and b) the pattern radiates outward like a sun, as opposed to Clear 1.
