i think its just tint maybe spray tint not for sure

Sure they weren't smoked, which gives a darker but more uniform look to the tails, or maybe they tinted them.

i got these die cut vynals that are transparent red, they are the exact shape of the amber lens and you just lay it on, looks oem cant even tell it wasnt all red, im tryin to remember the site but its been a year or two

so with the vynal or the paint, would i pull them apart like the front lenses, and then apply the paint/vynal, or would i just spray/lay it on the back over the tails?

any chances of seeing some pics of what you have done with your tails to get some different ideas??

thanks everyone!!!

Pactra brand Candy red RC body paint is translucent red, like a red tint, it would probably work, too.

The 16 year old was Ralero or somthing and he used Rvinyls red tail light vinyl. Yopu can get it on ebay. I used there tint vinyl for my tails and its doing great so far!
