Check out my profile. Are those taillights what you are looking for. If so I got them from 4caroption.com originally off ebay for 109 shipped.

I had them first but I put them on in the winter and they would not go around the corner for me not even with a heat gun. Besides all that is is 3m tape. If you want black taillights go buy real taillights.

I took mine apart and sprayed the inside of the lenses with 4 thin coats of window tint paint for models. They are a pain to get apart , but the results were excellent and the cost was like $8. The trick that made the difference was to put the lenses face down after the first 3 coats, this made the paint collect on the outside of the dots on the lenses and they came out way more uniform.

Im trying to get my tails candy soon. But dont soke your tails if you think its gonna be a problem in the future. If so, go with the smoked overlays.

The Jinsu/clearguard overlays are orders of magnitude better than the bluebatmobile ones. Trust me, you get what you pay for.

^^^Looks pretty good, but I have a question. The red that is showing in the picture, it's kinda spotty. Is that reflection because of the flash or soes the red show up inconsistantly like that at all times.

:? What I'm trying to ask is does the red show up like it does in the picture all the time or is it like the redeye effect of the flash.

the spottiness is totally an effect of the flash , the lenses are vey uniform.
