Simple mod, and better looks
 
Just painted a portion of the rear yellow bulb and final result is great. Itīs a five minute job and didnīt spend a penny :thumbup:

Hereīs the yellow bulb painted. This way the yellow shadow wont show inside the lamp giving a clear look.

Thanks. Used a paint for hot surfaces. You can find it at any store, two years ago cost me 3 euros a bottle/spray. There are several colors, i choosed aluminium color. But you can use any spray you have on your garage, i used it in my previous car for many years and never had any issues with it, even after having the four turning lights blinking while parked for long time.
