    Lights are looking real good.
    So this would work for doing the front side indicators on mine in amber/orange.

    What is the method used? 2 coats with a clear coat over?
    Would I need to change the bulb to clear?
    Do not think we have that brand of paint here though :(

    I thought they sold lens paint on Ebay, in any color. It has Asian writing all over it.

    And no, you don't have to change your bulb to clear, obviously lol.

    Just two coats with no clear (but proper surface prep) can last 10+ years mostly outside!
