I've seen a lot of people with the white reverse lights. I like the all red personally....

Re: Red and white tailights (Zinc)

I painted my tails and left my reverse lights clear (it looks identical to the photoshop job). Keep in mind when you paint your tail lights, your orange-colored lenses must be painted with a purple/pinkish paint and your reverse lights must be painted with red paint. The all-red color match may not be perfect.
Re: Red and white tailights (tachycardia)

I thought if you got a strong enough red it would just cover the orange completely, and then you put a coat on the bottom part of your tailights (so the color matches). Thats what i've heard. I have never heard of the "purple/pinkish" color having to be used.

Re: Red and white tailights (vdubjb)

When painting the taillights, is it necessary to take the taillights off the car or can it be done with them on.. If they should come off how is this done... sorry I really need to buy a bentley

enough

not only will it be easier to do them removed, but also safer for your paint...just dont drop the 8mm nut, or you will never find it again...

I did that to mine. I like the way that they look.

Re: Red and white tailights (Blk Raddo)

had mine like that since waterfest 00. i left my reverse lights clear so i can see backing up. also i didnt use that testors crap. i hear it cracks and runs and drips. i used actual taillight spray. no fading or anything for 2 years now.
