I did mine as well as Busak87's.

What i used was Yellow Krylon Stained Glass paint. You can find it at a Michaels craft store (they're everywhere). It's about $10 a can.

What i did was:

1) remove corners from car
2) clean the lenses thoroughly to rid them of any dirt or suet (don't want the paint to dry on a funky surface)
3) tape off the black rubber sealing around the lenses so they wont turn a sticky yellow/amber
4) place them on a cardboard box or something similar (don't want the driveway, garage floor turning yellow/amber )
5) spray in even coats over the whole lens in a "sweeping" fashion maybe about 6-7 inches from the lens. do about 5-6 passes over the lenses and let the first coat semi-dry
6) wait about 15-20 minutes
7) go out and do step 5 again
8) repeat steps 5 and 6 until the lenses are at desired color

* Note, the paint dries a bit darker, so be careful how dark you paint them when they're still wet.

9) wait about a day to let them fully dry
10) remove tape from rubber seal
11) Install...voila! you have amber corners within a couple hours!

**You can add a last step of clear coating them to make a nice glaze, although i did not as it was shiny enough.

Good Luck

stained glass paint works great

I used tamiya amber paint which I found in a small spray can at a hobbies store and they came out great.

yeah i have those clear amber corners for 93 and i dont like how i can see thru it

[aaahhhleft]

do you think using stain glass paint on already clear amber corner lights will make them not as see through as they are? cause i have the see through amber and i dont like it much, and i've already cracked the oem ones. so suggestion
