where do i get one of those kits that converts the rear turn signals and reverse to all red? Do i have to paint them or something?

 

You gotta paint them. I used aerosol model car paint on the inside and outside of the lenses.

Testors Translucent Candy Apple Red.

I picked it up at Hobby Lobby.

 

that's not the answer I wanted, oh well. I'd like a solution that seems a little more permanent.

 

Trust me, it's permanent....and very simple.

 

do a search dude, you will see that as stated above that painiting is the best and easiest option, cant imagine another way of doing it

 

well, i'm convinced enough to go to the jy and get a spare pair of tail lights to practice on.

 

that klearz company is going to start selling them, do a search and you will find them. i doubt they will be cheap though

 

Does anyone have pics of painted ones? Do they come out looking uniform in color (especially worried about the amber part)? I may want to leave my backups white, not sure. I'm thinking smoked red will cover a lot mroe than bright red.

 

I think i found the thread that you are referring to, and they are just selling lenses, not the whole assembly. And, just for those lenses it's $200

 

hey i did mine about 3 years ago still looking good cant even tell if your close up i didnt do my reverse lights one the marker (amber) and no need to practice did it on mine the first time

 

I had another member paint my amber sections red on the inside, he had done 2 sets already, and he offered to do mine. It's been a few years now, they still look pretty damn good. It's pretty close to the red color of the brake portion. I have a set of the Klearz ordered though. New taillight assemblies, if you can find them, are about $500 a side. Best thing with the Klearz, you get to spec out what color you want in each section.

 

I used the Testors translucent candy apple red paint, got it at hobby looby.

Here's the paint to buy


Here's some pic of my taillights

 

kevinfirebird, that looks pretty good. I can't see any difference in the colors.

 

Anybody can give me a link where I can get the "Testors translucent candy apple red" paint? Nothing on ebay

 

Hobby stores or any place that sells plastic model cars.....

Hobby Lobby
Wal Mart
HEB
etc.

 

Oh ok. Wal Mart is here. I gonna give that a try. Thank you!

 

i did mine the other week, came out a little orange still, but i may paint the outside a little and spray the black out spray lightly on top of the whole assembly.

 

i just wanna try around before i start the led thing im planning.

 

Obviously not my car, but belongs to a local club member. Painted on the outside & looks good to me!
