Looks pretty good, but the 02s come top of it in my personal op.

Not bad!! It looks good on Black Car, and only Black.... Maybe would work great on White, too.... but that's about it...

Now, I wonder how Silver would look... hehe...

Real hot! Way to be original! That would look sick with Black housing headlights, and black powder coated 19's w/ a polished lip. Mmm. straight ridicilous!

for all of you that ask how:

all you would have to do is:
1. go to your local hobby store
2. buy a spray paint for remote controll cars called "window tint"
they also sell a remover or you can try gas
3. remove the lights and cover the red with a newspaper and with a thick tape make a straight line b/w the red and white
how many sprays depends on you... spray until you find the darkness you like

Cool

IMO the red and clear looks a lot better. But your tails are definitely original.

I personally like the 02 taillights the way they are...but for what it's worth...you did a really nice job on them....the color's nice and the gloss on it is awesome!

Looks cool, but what about your reverse lights? You've killed their output. Combined with tints...Just back up real slow at night. At times at night depending on where i am, I wish I had higher output reverse bulbs. I need to look into that.

I've searched to find out how to take out the tail lights, but I can up with nothing. Can somebody please post instructions on how to remove them or direct me to a link. Thanx!

Nice job,

I like the black tint on the black...probably only works well on black cars.

I wouldn't try it myself but they do look sweet.
