mah painted tailights, tell me what you think
Here it is, night time pics, looks so clean in real life, my friend said it looked oem

before i put them in the housing, freakin adhesive from contact paper reacted with the spray paint, that was a bitch to remove.




from behind, brake on



angle shot emergency blinkers on, flash/no flash

for sure, if you look REALLY close you can see that the colored lens is slightly stained from the adhesive reacting, but other than that, its got a super nice oem plastic-like textured look to it



morning pics will come...in the morning...ill probably have to post up in the afternoon.

Looks good. You did a very good job on those. You just taped off the circles and used textured spray paint right?
