In this pic, I don't have stealth bulbs yet, but from this angle it's harder to tell. I definitely think it looks better than with the orange in there.

On A6s, we use a heat gun...
to soften the glue holding the lens in place. With a little bit of heat applied all the way around the lens, you can "peel" the lens off. Then you just pop the amber piece out, warm up the glue, and stick it back together. Works great - no scratches and no leaks.
Anybody use this method on the S4s?

not bad make sure to get tabs off completely - silver paint on bulbs - aluminum tape hides holes
first side is trickier than second - i found that grinding out tabs may be easier then drilling but its okay either way so long as you get rib of tab. O/w it can be harder to get out reflector.
This is a great DIY and the first i did.
oh yes use high heat silver paint no flaking.

Some guy did that to put in angel eyes. I've never heard of anyone doing this for CC's tho.
I think the heat method would be a little more risky and possibly more difficult.
