I feel compelled to war every one about this mod.

Clean the taillights with some plastic prep first. You should be able to find it at any pro paint supply shop.

Greg sorry I did not mention this before but you had already done it so this is an after the fact,

Do you know if anyone has done this mod the a earlier taillights?

If so are there any pics that are available to be seen.

If not, and I do this to my taillights, will it come off if I don't like it? Or would I just be F***ed?

What is all that white stuff all over the ground in your daytime picture? It is so beautiful.....

Looks sharp!!

Gives the rear trim a one piece look.

Um one question...

How well will the finish hold up does any one have any idea?

yer taillights arent to shabby either
Except specifics (brand, type etc) weren't mentioned. A nice thing would be to say "look what I did and since I'm not going to play shy, here's where to order online the stuff I used"

That didn't happen

The thin black gasket that goes all the way around each tail light.

Probably a bit of a PITA to replace after taking the lenses off the lamps...

I notice a lot of FB's with those weatherstrips missing.

BTW your lights look really good, now I'm torn between doing this or Iotus' frosty-looking type tail lights!
