I like the simple red tail lights like that of this link:

Where does one get these?

 

They look like stock tails that have been candied.

 

yes candied it is

 

They are just stock, a guy down the street from where I work has ones that look the same and his are just stock with a little work to them.

 

What do you mean 'a little work to them'? Please tell

 

Not sure exactly what he did, candied them some how. Check out a local auto shop and find some blackout paint but in candy. Or search the forums, I'm sure there is a thread about it somewhere.

There is a bunch of threads on how to "candy" your tailights.

 

it's basically paint.
didn't this once live in the tech section?
some guys in the forum here will do it for 100 bucks

 

tech section. check it out. looks awesome when done

 

go to a hobby store and pick up a can of :

brand: Testors
color: Transparent candy apple red
cost: usually around $3.50 a can some wal-marts have them in the model car section in toys too

you should get a clear coat too...I did it to my scion and I've been doing honda tail lights for years now. Hope that helps

 

It looks like they took the tail light apart and painted the edges of the housing black, then painted the lens red from the inside.

 

Most autobody/paint shops can spray your tailites just like that

 

go the tech section for tail candying DIY articles

 

anyone know what that thing eventually sold for on ebay?
