No one?

What about that wrap shop on Van Nuys close to Ventura. The one next to sunshine tint or what ever?

Have you considerd blacking out the housing instead of tinting the cover? From my experience, and a lot of friends, the cops will itch to pull you over.

Also, my cousin got rear ended and his insurance did not cover him because he had his taillights wrapped. Some members blacked out their housings and it looks ... Just some considerations...

hmm... that's not a bad idea and that's actually a good point about insurance claims....

do you pics of the housings being blacked out?

Do a search for blacked in tail lights. It looks amazing. Only catch is you have to actually cut the housing. Only thing that stopped me. I just painted mine red. :wub:

were those painted or you replaced the lights?

how much? lol...

since they're red, there shouldn't be any cop trouble for those, right? :happy0180:

Love them. No issues with cops at all.

I used duplicolor metalcast candy red. Then I took them to have cleared at the body shop. Just tell them not to sand the lights after you've painted them red. I had to redo mine because they burned through the red the first time sanding them!

If you have a body shop that is ready and willing to go, you can have them done in a day.

No problem! It really is easy and fairly cheap. If you can't get them cleared for $100 or less, go to someone else :happy0180:

Do you have to "cut" the housing or just oven bake and take apart?
