I have pink tail lights.................

the ink will burn off anyway, either get some massive bulb condoms or just get some colored glass (not painted glass) bulbs. www.street-beat.com has them

Keep it all clear in the housing. Go to street beat .com and order a set of red LED lights. They glow a bright dark red just like if you had the red plate still in there.

How did you get the red/orange off? As far as I know, the lenses themselves are red/orange. They are not painted at all.

That's true lol. I bought a set of junked up tail lights so I could see if I could remove the red/orange. I have not had any success lol.

Re: I have pink tail lights.................

85-90 TA taillights have a removable red lens(within the housing) behind the clear outer lens(which has the grid on the inner side), but no orange/amber lens. So I'd guess he's talking about 91-92 TA taillights which also have an amber lens. Open the housings and remove the inner colored lenses and it's a gridded-clear lens in front of chrome reflectors for use with red bulbs.
