Speaking of painting things yellow, or amber to be correct. I am going up to Vaughn Mills this weekend and checking out the big art supply store there and checking if they have some translucent plastic paint to change the reverse to signals. I could just use amber bulbs but I want a more correct look, without spending $300+.

why not just keep it white, and get the amber bulbs? :huh: you can get any bulb in any colour you want, e-bay or part source is a good place to get them from.
and the sedan 3 stage lights on the american lights are the top part of the tail light is the signel, the big round part is the brake / parking light, and the white is reverse.
if you go the route I did it's just a matter of opening the trunk and undoing the tail light holder ties, and leaning the lense out to see the back of the tail light to see if it has 3 bulb holders or two.
