Re: To paint or not to paint...
Lol...
Alls you gotta do is look behind the headlight and take off the dust cap for the turn signal..by simply unscrewing it. Then you take out the bulb...you'll see the amber bulb in there being held on by 3 tabs IIRC. The easiest way to do this is by breaking the tabs that hold the turn signal socket in place (remember you can reattach it later on with some adhesive or even black electrical tape (
).....
After that simply reach in there and take it out (the amber case) and if you want also take out the amber reflector while you have it exposed
And Ta-Da! Hey it works

Re: To paint or not to paint...
Well, it got delayed today either way. I'm gonna wait and figure out whether or not I want to paint them. Maybe color match them? Damn that's a lot of little touch up tubes, though....2 12" Kicker CVRs, KX1200.1, Camaro-Style Super TurboComment
