One things guys...i dont recommend doing stock lights cause it will not be bright enough..

Yes you can leave the bulbs in...your just spraying the OUTSIDE lens of the tail light

this is how dark it looked after!

but i still havent cleared them because i wanted to make sure it was right!
i am very pleased. i likeit better than fully black and i dont have a chance of getting pulled over.

i wish i knew about taping the lights. i have tycs and their dark. For the past day cars seem to be getting closer and closer and seem like their gonna hit me from behind. I dont know if its legal to have done this, so if someone hits me they will blame it on the dark lights and it will likely be my fault. During the week i drive in traffic and people dont pay attention, hopefully they will see me.

cant you just put window tint on them to make them look the same? wut kinda paint did you use?

[acidbaby]

read the post

and you cant just put tint on it

Ehh, I got some not so good news. The corners of my taillights faded out a little, I guess I didnt put enough tint there?

I'll touch them up sometime this week
