So no one sells amber gones anymore but I have some really high quality tint film and I want to do it myself. But, wondering if anyone has a stencil or outline of the amber area or can recommend on how to size it up for a DIY

Thanks guys !

I did my own, I used a sheet of paper, made an outline of what I wanted. Placed it on the vinyl and cut it out. I then flipped the paper around and made the cut out for the other light.

Took about 45min-1hr, cost me $10 in vinyl.

Yes it's a law and it makes the headlights and side indicators look terrible. Going for UK spec headlights as soon as warranty is up. I've actually head some of the European guys LIKE the amber color? Weird

Not weird. Jus everyone wants what they can't have or what they don't get stock as apposed to other locations. We just always feel were missing something basically.
