Red Tail Light Film
 
Im wondering if the red tail light tints found on ebay cover the whole tail light or leave a small area on the bottom, like in the photo.

When I bought the car it brought a set of TYC tail lights and Im not really feeling them, so im looking to just red them out.

Thanks.

A lot of people paint the inside of them. I have my old painted lights sitting in the attic since I got Sonars.

If you just get red vinyl, you can make the cutoff wherever you want.

ok thanks, Ive tryed messaging two of the sellers but they never responded. I may try painting the inside. Any paint in particular?

Either Krylon Stained Glass or Testors Candy Apple Red Transparent.
