If you do orange, get the colored glass bulbs, not the coated clear bulbs.
They are a bit more pricey, but the color is better and lasts longer. Get some silver spray paint or liquid. I recommend hobby paint from a hobby store. Take a little of the paint, if its spray, spray a little on a paper plate or something so you have a little bit of paint. Daba cotton ball or tissue in the paint, and lightly coat the bulb. do not make it too thick or they will be very dim. dab it on lightly and barely coat the bulb silver, but make it silver enough so not a lot og orange is visible. you wont see any small shard of orange when they are off in the clears.. Let it dry, put them in and you are good to go. White might work too, but I always use the hobby chrome paint from most hobby stores, or silver paint I usually have laying around. I spray paint lots of things, including my computer case, so I am always have paint around to use. I just have clear bulbs front and rear until I get stopped for it, then I will change them. I have a set of oraneg bulbs ready to go in the glove box for the front. rear i would have to get some... If you use my painting method, you can get them to look invisible and glow bright. I tried many different paint coatings, thick with a little of the rear of the bulb showing, thin spray, and dabbed. dabbing lightly works best in my opinion. Check out my site to see pics of my car with different bulbs in them. you have to go to old pictures for ones with the orange bulbs... Red looks great in the rear indicators, but they are too pink, so coated bulbs would again be best. I managed to paint mine red with some permanent marker over the red coating, and they looked very red and nice. But now I have clear in there... Hope that helps, post pics of your lights when you are done... Alon

Alon-
You forgot one thing, use high temp paint. I used white paint on my bulbs and they have burned the paint so now there are small burn marks on the top of the bubls. Its not that noticable but I would use high temp paint. Subman

Also don't some states require that you have a blinking yellow light for a turn signal?
