Overlays would be a better idea especially in california where cops are really into ticketing tuner cars. Too dark and its a ticket if you put an overlay on and get in trouble just take it off show that its fixed and put it back on.

I know a guy who sprayed his lights dark got a ticket and now hes in real trouble cuz he doesnt have anyway to remove the spray

Um... the TYC ones are aftermarket lights.

But no, there are no others.

Bat, what are you coming up with now? I would get overlays instead of the spray unless you have a extra set of tails handy then go for it!

Customize your own tails like I did.

All Red TYCs. I get A LOT of compliments on these! I used Vans Lens Paint. It comes in a few colors and shades. I tried overlays, but they were a b$%ch to put on. (I felt like my thumbs were going to fall off from all the smoothing out I attempted to do.) If I ever get pinched by 'The Man', I'll just slap on my OEM tails. No biggie.

that all around red look looks sweet, then with a small layer of black tint over that i think they would look real nice.. youve given me ideas.

As you requested. These are with the lights just "on". No brake is being applied.



They are brighter in person!

Don't know if you were asking me, but I'll answer anyways. Its not an overlay, its Lens Paint. Check my earlier post for the details.
