Default clear corner question part 2

Ok so you guys who have had clear corners for a while: what is the best paint for the bulb?

Default I can't say...

I tried the stuff at Michael's arts/craft store, but it burned quickly. I finally installed Jeff's LED signals. If I were to do it differently, I'd use TTakes2's technic with the amber lens cover.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ttgallery.fotki.com/my_mods_and_pics/risos_smoked_corner/">TTakes2's web site</a></li></ul>

Default thanks, but the amber is what I'm trying to get away from.

I guess an amber LED would work. Anyone have any experience with that?

You don't see the amber when the lights are off. Isn't that what you want?

Default I have clears with the amber inserts (like TTakes2) - see picture >>

You can barely tell there are amber pieces in there.
