Would suggest to have an extra set of tails before painting them yourself. Especially since i see evo 8 tails go for around 100 bucks or less.

IF you guys are worried about your reverse lights being red, you can swap the turn signal for the reverse light. That way the reverse light is white like it should be, and the turn signal is red.
