I need to make mine flash orange but cant seem to find green bulbs anywhere local, just been told to use nail varnish over the bulb. Anyone know if that would work?

Yea it's easy dude!

Just mask off the reflector and keep giving it so many coats untill your happy with them,don't do to many layers though because your indicator still needs to flash orange

I use the Tamiya spray for polycarbonate R/C car shells etc.Get it from my local model shop for a fiver.Works a treat.Its basically red coloured laquer so comes out nice and shiney.

And iirc,the green bulb trick dosn't work.Still flashes red.

Until i see a picture or video of rear lights that have been sprayed red,flashing orange due to having green bulbs,i still won't believe it.

Heard it loads over the years on the VAG forums.

Green + Red = Brown which is near enough orange
