how do you like these tails?
Nice! good job on doing it yourself! 
I did mine using Testor's Candy Apple Red spray paint that you can buy at a model store (about $4/can). It's like a transparent tint spray and works very well!
Clean the lights, tape off the part you do not want to paint, spray thin coats one at a time until the desired shade that you want! 2-3 coats should give you a nice shade of red. You can clearcoat to give a shinyness to it.
As a bonus... if you want to make your reverse lights white again... switch the turn signal bulbs with the reverse light bulbs. Really easy. Just need to cut a tiny tab on the bulb base to fit in the other section. You will know what I mean when you try it. Enjoy!!
No freakin secrets here! Go out and mod those ugly azz ricetezza stock tailights... yourself!

also if you guys get tails through me i'll modify your tail so the reverse light is where the signal is and the signal is where the reverse light is, this eliminates any problems with pink reverse lights! and the signal looks pretty cool too, i'll try to get some pics up.
brand matters. yo buy a civic you get a civic>>you buy a integra/rsx you get a high dollar civic. same with the paint. the look is different and there is no need to clearcoat the brand i listed. testors is too red and does not match or give the right look.
lets see your pics with testors brand

I think the Altezza's look great on a WW Evo.
