The easiest way would be to cover your current corner lights in orange vinyl. There's a tutorial on how to apply vinyl to the corner lights here:

DIY: How To Apply Vinyl To JDM Sidelights

A member did it to there Corolla a little while ago. Here's some pics:

i've actually seen a pair of amber lenses for JDM lights. probably fit over the same lense, but gotta remove the original. i think i had my friend bid on them, but i can't remembe.r would be nice to fix my other zenki lights that broke.

^ Yeah I've seen those lenses somewhere too.

Here's a pic of a BZ Touring wagon that a guy is selling over here. I'll try and ask him if he bought the corner lights like that or if he just applied vinyl to the originals:

Unfortunately not. I'd love to buy it myself if I had the cash and space.

Here's the actual listing:

Cheers for the input. Interesting to learn that you painted yours. Looks like it turned out well. Although for the reason you mentioned, I agree that vinyl would be a better choice.

Damn, I just checked and the listing literally ended 10-minutes ago . I've actually still got the listing open in one of my browser's tabs, so I'll save the other images and send them to you via PM . Fortunately I sent the person a txt who owns it while the phone number was still listed, so hopefully I get a response. I like my clear corner lamps too much to make them orange, but it might be useful to others who want to do this mod.

Yeah that BZ Wagon is another nice one

Haha, come on over! There's always plenty of BZ wagons listed here. I usually post my findings in this thread:
