I really didn't like the yellow in the tail lights or the white for that matter.

I like the look of the older tail lights with the white stripe. So heres what I came up with. What do you think.











please excuse my dog slobber on the rear door in that last pic.

 

Its different, it looks bad with that sun glare, but I think its something id have to see in person.

Than again, im a huge fan of blacked out lights, you should sand it down and do a light coat, smoke them grey.

And your worried about dog slobber? you cant even see my paint its covered in mud and i have a pine branch hanging off my roof rail it looks like a bucks rack.

 

They look pretty good, So did you just paint them?

 

looks good

 

Looks great. Please don't black 'em out or install blue headlights.

 

They look clean and simple.I like it.How did you do it and how does it affect the brightness of the lights?. When I bought mine it hade those TERRIBLE eurocrap lights in it. I had a guy come over (in an xj)to buy a set of tires from me and I talked him into trading me for his stock ones.

 

looks good... reminds me of waggie tail lights...

 

I don't like the black out look, I have the white outs in the front and no blue head lights for me.

 

Nice look, I think better than the original, what type of paint did you use?

 

that is exactly what I was going for.

as for how I did it.

1. a little sanding with a high number paper.
2. electric tape for the white stripe over the clear part of the light
I like the way electric tape bonds to plastic
3. most important you need to buy testers (testers is the brand) transparent paint. The research I did came with transparent candy apple red as the color. I went with transparent hot rod red. It took 2 coats to cover the yellow and red out the white. I also went over the edge of the electric tape with a blade after it dried to give an even pull off of the tape.

Rear visibility is about the same with a little red tint.

 

Nice work, thanks for the how to info.
