I did the same thing as kou with a set of flush motorcycle turn signals, except using orange paint (the bike is orange where they are), also Tamiya. I will see if I can find the instructions but it is pretty easy. It is pretty much remove the marker lights (easily done), cut some cardboard so only the outside is exposed (make the holes like the ones in your fender), and put on numerous light coats letting dry for about 10-15 minutes between each. Continue to do so until you reach the desired color.

Garm, thanks for the tip on silicon, I will get some today. The marker lights you sold me look excellent!

Cheers! M2

Hi

In Europe the side markers are clear on the Toyota Yaris. If anybody need a pair I can buy them for you and ship them.

Regards Steven.

Steven

The side markers in the US are clear as well, they are the same ones I saw in Germany, Austria and the UK; which is why folks here are painting or replacing them...

But it was very nice of you to offer!

Cheers! M2

Thanks....I saw somewhere here that a person from Cypress had posted a kit for the hatchback from Toyota used in lieu of the rear seat for utility type work. I tried contacting him but he never came back. Have you ever seen anything like this where you are? US has no idea what it is and the part number when I checked didn't ring any bells. Thinking maybe it's a Europe accessory.
