red tail lights
 

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?

Re: red tail lights
 

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.

Re: red tail lights
 

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

Re: red tail lights
 

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

Re: red tail lights
 

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

Re: red tail lights
 

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

Re: red tail lights
 

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.

Re: red tail lights
 

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

Re: red tail lights
 

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.

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

Re: red tail lights

Re: red tail lights
 

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

Re: red tail lights
 

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.

Re: red tail lights

Re: red tail lights
 

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