I found a post on a BMW forum about camouflaging a yellow turn signal bulb on clear aftermarket taillights. This process makes it were you don't notice the bulb, but it still lights up yellow....just with 1/2 to 3/4 the intensity.
I did this to the front turn signal bulbs on my Sonata and it looks awesome!!! I would suggest this to anyone with clear lenses that don't what to those yellow bulbs.
All you do is: 1) Take the bulb out 2) Spray paint the bulb heads (not the metal connector end, of course) with silver metallic paint. I used duplicolor paint that I had laying around. Spray about 3 coats on until the yellow isn't noticable. 3) Let the paint dry 4) Reinstall the bulb
That's it. It takes less than 15 minutes to do both bulbs...and most of that time is drying time.
Here is a link to what it does for the taillights of a BMW with frosted-clear lenses. On the Sonata, the lenses aren't frosted, just clear so it is even more dramatic. www.apexcone.com/JimPowellHomepage/TechProcedures/SilverLamps/SilverLamps.html
