Default painted headlight idea for clear corners???

i was wondering if anyone had tried painting the clear corners black like the headlights. i have a silver z and i painted the headlights black a while ago, and i was wondering if the clear corners would look good done the same way. they would match pretty well i think. i may try it

It wont work because the clear corner is all one peice or its molded together. If anyone has an idea to take them part w/o breaking them let us know because I would love to do this mod.

BTW won't the oven thing work for clears just like the headlight mod?

yeah i wish someone could figure this out, the clears dont go extremely well with the black lenses, but looks cleaner than the amber lenses. is there anyway to paint them from the inside, through the hole for the bulb? if you didnt make a mess of the paint, it might work.
