how? painted? replaced? either way how did you get the stock one out (did you?) since the rings are in the way?? take a pic from further out? looks good but kinda weird since the oranges don\'t match :p but i guess they match the other orange lights on the car?

It suits your car perfectly...did you consider smoking them, though?

I painted the sidemarkers using the transparent Tamiya model paint. I wasn\'t able to remove the sidemarkers because of the trim rings so I masked around them. I was hoping the amber wouldn\'t match the body colour, but it closely matches the amber of the other turn signals.

Hmm, I wonder if I should/could paint the fog lights YELLOW!

I thought long and hard about doing this...I guess curiousity killed the cat.

No, but I was thinking of putting a dot of black right in the middle to make it look like and eye...just kidding!

Tamiya paint is the s**t. I used it to make my Civic\'s turn signals amber. I was thinking of doing the fogs too but they peel off after a while. It suits your car perfectly, plus I like those rain guards. Where\'d you get em?:D

Hobby stores. I wouldn\'t worry about it in the winter unless to have a habit of running into snowbanks that are that high.

I painted them while they were on the car, the sidemarker rings wouldn\'t allow me to remove the sidemarkers. I just masked around the area with masking tape and newspaper.

Here\'s one for you Jhune! An amber sidemarker on a TiG sedan. I took this picture on my recent trip to the Philippines.

i think the clear ones matches the tgray better ...otherwise if they came in amber i would have changed them to clear...
yours is ok matches your lava orange car...Just dont get carried away with those tamiya paint! :p

Hmm, now that I think of it, I could have used the smoke coloured paint on my windows INSTEAD OF GETTING THEM TINTED!!!!

Some minor modification might be necessary. Them MP3 Protege ones as well will fit but the lens is larger.
