NO.
please don't do it on your Amber. it will not work!
there's no way you can make amber indicators smoke without it looking dark amber!
shaun: and spraying it lightly with? black paint won't work.
knn: the best way do get smoked effect is to have the clear indicators to start with. go to the hobby shops, looks for:
-Enamel smoke spray can.
i've smoked my clear indicator with Gunze smoke spray can.
clean the surface, spray it with light coats until desired shade.
but don't get too excited, most of the time, you'll end up with too dark of a shade.
hope i've helped.

A simple way out is to go to this shop at Ubi (opposite the traffic police HQ) - I smoked my previous coupe there. They use very special stick on decals and trim it to fit your rear lights. Great job. For me, it lasted 2 hours cos I didnt like it!!!
Hahahaha
Hahahaha
erhhhh, if u smoke the clear ones is very wasteful. i got the spare ambers one, cant we do the ambers?
i remember i did it on my Sti b4 using a spray i bought in japan (comes with "eraser liquid,watever its called. Cant buy it in sg the after result of the side amber was nice, but the tail lights i dun know how to do it as its too.
Mr SM yuen, its a stick on? can tear off easily? wears off in the long run?

Yup it is a stick on - but man, it REALLY sticks on. Had to pull and pull to get it out. but no worries, quite easily done. Cant say much about wearing out since my lasted a grand total of 2 long hours. But is must say the feel and texture of the material is very good. And lots of cars go there to get their lights "smoked". So should be ok I guess?
my favourite shop, cos the boss can do almost anything you ask him to do for your car in terms of car decals, blackening your windows, windscreen decals... only thing is they cant design badges unless you order in the hundreds!

Just in case I wanna experiment with it...
