E36's and Amber Euro corners. w/ pics

I got my e36's put in that i got from trippleg (greggh) along with a set of euro corners, and the other night i decided to get some amber lights for the corners just to see how it looked. I really like the result and will stay with it. Marshall X i know you were thinking about this too so here are the pics:

Actually the euros dont have room for a light, you have to custom drill a slot for the light to fit.

could you post some pics during the daytime to see how close to flush you got? the e36 depos are impossible to make flush with their lens and you cant swap others onto them. so im going to mod the bumper/cornor when i start the body work

Question: The Euro corners are smoked from the factory, right? If I wanted to get that smoked look, would you recommend trying to get a hold of some euro corners or just use some shading spray to smoke my existing clear corners?

i believe euros are glass and smoked with no light bulb holes. i plopped my regular clears into the oven, took the lenses off them, and sprayed the inside of them with gloss black high temp spray paint. i like that look more personally.

yes they are smoked from factory but only in the UK and they are hard to get ahold of. you can get them tinted and the person to ask is Michael. he's an expert on the tinting but what i did is just popped them open and just painted the inside in a flat black and put them back together. the euro corners have a plastic lens not a glass lens.

Those yellow/amber corners look good. How is their performance as a light for illuminating the corners with that color? Obviously white is brighter, but maybe the yellow offers better contrast.
