I heard that some people buy model paint to paint their bulbs. My friend did it in his Accord when he had clear tails. The red bulbs always faded so he painted them. They were dimmer but they stayed true to their color.

yeah, but that cacn cause the bulbs to blow. you can buy colored bulbs @ advance auto & places like that. APC makes cheapo bulbs that last pretty well.

you can, but it can cause hot spots on the bulb that can make them blow.

just save yourself the time and trouble (but not the money), u can find some real nice bulbs that will accentuate your car if u just look around! they arent going to be cheap, but they will look much nicer and probably last much longer...
