In Europe, The front signal lights are always white...
I guess you have to change the whole lense or maybe a special product that dissolves paint?

Bre Ced,

Your breyton front lip is nice. Is it an addon piece or did you have to replace the entire front OEM bumper for the Breyton. I want to get it. I'm in California. Anyone know how much this is?

There's a post somewhere here about a side bulb that looks white but blinks yellow. I think that's the solution for good looks.
