Anyone know where I can get some amber (or yellowish) bumper lights for the front and back? When I bought my EP, it had clear bumper lights and side markers from the previous owner. Any help would be great!

Thanks

hmm. i think the only option is to get OEM ones if you want them colored properly. fleabay only sells clear and tinted from what i've seen.

i just colormatched mine NHBP with the stuff from o reillys and i'm happy with it. they're obviously not functional any more though.

OP, judging from you avatar you have NHBP. I do too. Color matching is a good way to go. I tinted mine black and removed the bulbs from all 4 corners. Really cleans up the look of the car. Those bumper lights were obviously designed as an after thought and I've always hated them.

That said if you still want them, they are amber in front, and red in back. eBay or an import parts recycler is your best bet.

Myself and another member have used glass paint on the clear lenses. I got a price of $80 a light from several online dealerships and even more locally. I simply bought the Ebay clear lights and painted them with yellow glass stain.
I found it at Michaels Crafts...and stuff. Its a small 6oz aerosol can from Krylon. The color is yellow 9024. Simply scuff down the lenses and apply several LIGHT coats. The color will start off dark yellow and turn darker with each coat. I stopped at around 5 coats and the color is just a shade darker than the butterscotch color of the factory lights.

I also did this. There's a DIY with pictures in the DIY. It looks pretty good.

I was in the same boat as you, picked up some OEM ones off eBay cause I wasn't gonna pay the crazy stealership prices (why the hell are these so expensive?). Just keep an eye out on eBay or the classifieds here, ppl get rid of them when they switch to the clear ones, JDM bumper, etc.
