    Hey everyone,

    I am starting my searching for options for the OEM tail lights. I was not going to do them since everyone else has, but they are starting to get on my nerves. I want to go red with them in some way or another.
    Any suggestions and/or recommendations on where to get what?

    Thanks!

    I did the VHT nightshade red and a few layers of clear on my stock tail lights. For this to look good, you will need to put some effort into sanding and polishing. i just left it with the clear and its "semi-glossy"

    Edit* Also, i probably put one too many coats of red while trying to get an even coating :hsugh:
    I'd probably practice on something that can be thrown away. Applying thin even coats is key.
