"Anniversay Edition"(All Red) Tail lights for just $10 ....I saw someone from this board with a Black Box who tinted his Tail lights Black..really nice!
I just got it this week. They sent the Pactra brand.

I am planning to spray the front amber in the headlights only. I already replaced the sidemarkers with clears. I love the stealth look of all black tail lamps, but I wonder about safety... how brightly will the tail lamps light up with all that tint on the plastic? I'd hate to get rear ended for my own stupidity.

Now I might just spray them AFTER I buy some red and clears to replace them. It might be fun to try it on a pair I no longer really need.

I will post before and after pix. I promise. I just need time to mask off the front end of the car and do it.

Anyone know if I should prep the plastic with anything before spraying it beyond a good scrub with a soapy rag?
