It has the same effect on me as colored window tint.

+5 for creativity though!

Thanks everybody! I will take some better pictures this weekend and post them too. Before this mod, the car didn't look too bad with the amber markers but the car REALLY needs clear markers now for sure. I'm also thinking about getting a grill from the guy that sells them on eBay. He wants a fortune for shipping though.

I think there needs to be a bit more contrast in the headlights, it all mixes together with the color-matched paint. Definitely give you respect for trying something new though, can't find out until you try.
