This isn't really modified tech, but something cool I saw on another forum, I have always hated having amber turn signals on the rear and with my front signals cleared it's really bothered me so after looking around I decided to do this:
as you can see it's no longer amber
and because I know someone will ask this, the lights are a little bit less bright, to the point that they don't glare anymore but they are still bright enough to see with no problem at all
BUT
it did make the reflector part not reflect as well
to do this I cleaned the lens really will with dish soap, taped off the housing and reverse light and sprayed the turn signal and brake light area with Testors Spray Enamal: 1605 Transparent Candy Apple Red, I found it in the model car section of a hobby store, now I know you will ask why I just didn't paint the turnsignal area only because that would have left the reflective area just fine, well after doing this I decided that the paint wasn't a perfect match and IMO it looked better as one red than 2 shades, left me know if you want anymore pictures, Jamie.
