Well - I've done halfassed **** in a pinch. Once someone backed into
my dad's car in a supermarket parking lot when I borrowed it. I
exchanged insurance info and assessed the damage (slight sheetmetal
damage and a busted taillight assembly). Then I walked into the store
and got some translucent red tape to patch it up. It looked ugly,
but I figure I didn't want to risk getting a ticket.

Oh - I was looking around for alternatives and saw that the PIAA
"Mirror Orange" bulb is available in 7440. Don't know if they're
worth $40/pair, but I can't imagine that it's quite as bad as their
headlights.
