In my quest to do away with the nasty "egg yolk" look, I have come up with a cheap way to make your own stealth bulbs.

What you will need:
- Amber bulbs
- a small cardboard box
- steel wool or scuff pad equivalent
- High Heat - Aluminum colored spray paint



Step 1: Remove all amber bulbs you wish to become "Stealth bulbs". (In my case, I wanted front corners and tails)

Step 2: Scuff bulbs with a steel wool or equivalent to roughen surface allowing the paint to stick.

Step 3: Punch holes in the box correlating with the number of bulbs you want to paint and fit bulbs into holes.

Step 4: Lightly spray a dusting on each side of the amber bulbs. Note: Be very careful not to apply the coat too thick as the amber will not show through when lit. Keep the bulbs about 3 feet away from the spraycan to ensure a light coat or dusting.



Step 5: Allow an hour of drying time or until bulbs are dry to the touch.

Step 6: Replace all lights to their original position on the car.

Now all "egg yolk" is gone:





And when they are lit, they still light up amber





Enjoy your new stealth bulbs
