Amber rear signals?

Just purely out of curiosity, are there any options for amber rear signals for the Cobalt? I know the Cavy has amber tails available that were in the RHD Toyota version but obviously there aren't any JDM Cobalts.

Thanks man, I was just wondering... cause I have Toyota tails for my Cav I just never put them in.



You could probably stick some amber LED's around the reverse light in the little white section but that probably wouldn't look very good

Obviously. Yours probably aren't the only aftermarkets. Anyway, doing it would be a custom install and easy on the sedan since your reverse light is already in the main taillight, in fact I've seen a sedan with it on here. Back on topic, wondering if anyone has done this for a coupe

Anyone paying $300+ for STOCK HEADLIGHTS that are simply PAINTED BLACK just threw
$280+ out the window. There is a how-to on here on how to paint your headlights. $20 is all you need.

Talk about gulible (spl?) lol

The only thing I was thinking that would be relatively simple would be to paint the reverse light circle amber and do some rewiring. You could really even leave the lenses clear, and put orange bulbs in, just relocate your reverse lights. That would be the trickiest part.

very skyline-ish

Doing that would require body work which 99.9% of people would not want to do to make the reverse light relocation legal. Unless you put White LED's along side the license plate

that looks pretty badass, i wonder if they make a nightshade in the orange would be simple enough to rewire it, as far the reverse lights you could just wire a led strip above the liscense plate and wire it to the existing reverse light wiring..

has anyone ever seen the bumper lights on the side in amber?
