Making amber parking lights

[Drkuhar]

I got bored tonight so i took a old pair of clear cutlass parking lights i had to try my amber paint on something clear. It took about 4 coats of paint to get the clear covered good and i edged the outside lip with silver. Turned out descent and will make a good backup set to put on the shelf. I hate the clear lights

Those look nice, but crazy how opinions differ which is why this hobby is awesome! My Cutlass came with amber turn lenses but I never cared for them. I scored a clear set years back and think they look cleaner in the bumper.

Those lights came out good and look factory.
I have the clear with amber bulbs in the Monte but for the Regal I bought new amber front lights and matching side marker lights and I like them .
My factory side markers were more of a really light amber with chrome trim.

Those turned out nice. The performance oriented cutlass' all had amber lenses (H/O, 442 and Cutlass Salon) while all others had the clear. Nice upgrade

Crazy how that works, mine is just a Cutlass Supreme and came with the amber lenses.

Yet somehow they knew it would become a performance oriented Cutlass.

Interesting. It looks like amber was exclusive to 442, H/O and Salon only up until 1986. 87-88's across the board were randomly amber and clear. Perhaps nearing the end of the G body, GM was trying to use up it's inventory? Dunno....
