i believe the 'red out' and similar black out procedures are in tech.

youve got a pleathora of options:

spray on the outside, then clear coat
bluebatmobile or similar (headlight armor) vynil appliques
or open it/them up and spray on the inside (a very hard option on tc's from what ive heard)

I bought a vinyl overlay for the 3rd taillight (Center) - just used soapy water and then pressed it down and smoothed it out.

The other taillights I bought from Zoltiz. He does the smoked tails for $70 shipped.

They are many times thicker and stronger that typical sign vinyl (overlays) versions and are much easier to handle.

Whoa. Do you have a picture of the back-up lights on with those red overlays over them? I might order a set from you if they look right.
