I see a few cars with amber headlights,usually the high beams and back in the 60`s-70`s the drag cars would tint them.How do they do it?Are there amber lights availible or do they just tint them with yellow film?Mine will be the 7" lights for my `69 Barracuda.
 
They use a spray paint that is see threw. I think Walmart or K mart has it.
 
I had them along time ago and they were plastic covers that just snapped over the light. I think you can find them in JC Whitney. we always called them "Poor man fog lights"

are these the same as the blue lights on the Sox & Martin Barracuda? Has anyone done any HID conversions on their A body?

That`s where I got the idea,the old drag racers used to tint thier headlights so when they were heading back on the return road they would not distract the next set of racers with bright lights as there wasn`t always a barrier between them.I bought some "gold anodize" spray paint which is basically a yellow with a lot of clear in it and it should do the trick.I also assume they are not legal so I`ll tint a set and have another clear set and swap `em at the track.I`ll post a pic when I get them done.
 
There are a few european light manufacturers that have the amber "driving lights". For the HID conversions you need to get the 7" housings that use the H4 bulbs and then get the H4 HID conversion kits. There are a few kits out nowdays but I thinks they're still in the $500 price range.
