Default 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.
