Get some silver paint and put a light coat of paint over your orange bulbs. When they light up, the orange light will show through. You can even tape the bottom part of the bulb.  Someone else did this before me. I thought it was cool. It's cool if you have no reflectors.

I'll try Hightower's suggestion 1st, but in the mean while... Where'd you get your bulbs?

Wow! your fogs look really bright in that picture. Are those the stock foglights? What bulbs do you have in there, wattage? Thanks.

As long as you don't have flashing blue or red lights on the front, I don't think there is a problem. Plus, these are clear bulbs that have an amber blink to them....I thought that's what you wanted? I'm clearing the corners on a buddy's 98 SVT this weekend and using these same bulbs.

I have amber LED's in there. But that is more than just changing the bulbs. You have to do other mods to have them operate. They are totally clear, and light up amber.
