Custom eyelids.. to cover amber?

For those of us who dont have euro spec head lights, is there any pair of eyelids on the market that would cover just the amber part of the headlight?

I guess nothing out there yet, I once made a custom pair of eyelids, its very time consuming and one slip and they are ruined. Basically i bought a pair of the GTS black plastic covers for the head light, used a dermal tool to shape it the way i wanted, painted and installed. I don't think I have the patience to even try to attempt something like that again, I guess ill wait and hope someone starts producing them.

I've seen OK (just OK) results with tinting the amber portion. I suppose if you were really into it, and had the technical knowledge I do as a BMW Tech, you could disasseble the head light and paint the reflector a different color, but this is something that, without proper knowledge, would have a high risk of damaging your headlight.

Well..I don't know if it is a secret...but I know they are talking about doing it.

They were asking around..trying to gauge interest.

I think they will get it done....keep updated.
