Vinyl wraps are generally less glossy and appear more dull. It's harder to wrap a light due to its shape so most people won't have the skill to do it without damaging, stretching or scratching the wrap. You can have a pro do it but then it's more money obviously and you're in the same cost territory as painting. They also usually require more than one piece to wrap the housing, so it will be easier to tell on a close inspection, that it is wrapped. But as you said it's less permanent so it can be removed if you want to go back.

But for what it's worth I see people selling stock taillight sets for $150-200 these days. So you could have a 2nd set when you feel like switching back too.
Dont think I forgot about you bud ill be doing yours soon hopefully before the next meet.
