you might be able to paint a blue candy paint with the clear on the lights.. not sure if it would work though.

This may sound incredibly stupid but the first thing I thought of was "I have nailpolish that looks like that." They do have clear coats with flecks of colors just like that so you might have a lady friend check it out for ya. (might be a lil embarrasing to be a guy and get cought looking at nailpolish in public!) How well it would work I have no clue but if your desperate its worth a shot...:thumbup:

haha, thats an interesting idea. but i don't think nailpolish is nearly strong enough to with-stand the elements. i'm looking more for a clear coat with some kinda reflective properties. idk.

I think this would work.....first, follow this guide and try to paint part of the light housing with blue chrome
https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...threadid=56277

Then do a 9005 conversion if you drive an integra, or another conversion that lets you use the highbeam bulbs as normal light. There's a guide in this forum i dont remember where.

It's my 2 cents but the 9005 conversion i did to my integra worth it, give visible light beam now, and looks very bright if you have clear corner. And i think the blue housing will help with the blue output/looks....

mmm if i were you, id bake the light adn remove the clear part..and either..paint some pearl on the inside..or use the nailpolish. a film wouldnt work cause its curved and ud get creases and it would just look shiit unless you could get it to stretch to the contours. why would you want those lights anyways....i tihnk they are sorta retarded.
