If you're looking for someone to photoshop the colors for you, there's another forum topic for that here:

The headlights are 4x6 halo diamond cut H4 off ebay. The face lens is smooth and clear without the standard refaction ribs that our sealed beams have and the inside is black, they have replacable H4 hi/lo bulbs and I stepped up to the 90w/100w bulbs because the 55w/60w that they come with are not bright enough with the blacked out backing. They have an LED halo thats linked to a park light wire and internal blue T10 bulb that I dont use.
As far as the ambers, they are driving lights now. I got the smoked clear housings off ebay too and transplanted the H4 bulbs that came in the halo's into them and linked them with a 12v relay to the park light wire so they come on with park lights and headlights. And due to the heat of the bulb I drilled two 5/16" holes above the bulb in the housing to vent it.
For the turn signals I found a pair of flat oval smoked side marker housings online and fabbed them into the bumper with 3-1w white LEDs in each connected back to the turns.
I made my own LED taillight setup as well. The only true bulbs in the car now are the H4's all others are LED inside and out.

And FYI for anyone wanting to do H4 conversion, you have to trim out the back of the bucket that the 4x6's sit in because they are deeper then sealed beams.
