If you cut them, the wires will dangle around. Its not that hard to get them off, its worth the extra few minutes

The driver side wire on the inner side is a PITA though. I worked that one off the stud instead of trying to unclip the zip tie like the others. Still was able to put it back on though.

Here are my tails:

Any more HQ pics in the sun maybe? Would love to see how they finally turned out. Are you pretty happy with the end result?

edit: also some pics of your reverse lights. thanks hahaha

^^ Reverse lights are in the bumper, not in the tail lights so you don't have to worry about that at all.

As for all red, for YEARS tail lights were totally red and people didn't have issues with thinking other drivers were always on the brakes. You'll be fine with all red in that regard.

I would like to know if someone did the redding with red vinyl wrapping. I know that there is someone who did it partielly but full... never.

I juste bought a roll to do my tail light because i didn't want this to be irreversible. But i wnat to have a good idea to know if it is defficult or not.

I have already done some vinyl application before but never on tail/head light. Thanks!

Its going to be pretty hard to wrap...these lights are fighting against you with the hard edges. It has been done don't get me wrong, but how clean, I am not sure of. Every photo i've seen has been from a distance and not showing up close pics.

There are a few that have been done in to parts (you wrap the face of the light, then the top), but you might be able to tell when you get up close.

Just to note, painting lights is not irreversable. You can remove the paint. Yes it will take a bit longer, but it can be done.

If you're going to wrap the tails, buy a pre-cut mask set instead of starting with a piece off a roll.

[grostoine]

I dont like precut cause sometime it's in multiple piece. I better like to do it in one shot!
