Took a different route... Another tail light mod

Decided to put overlays on my turn signals. I despise black overlays/tinted lights. So next tonight or tomorrow I might paint them black. No later than next weekend though. I'm going to order another brand of amber as this one isn't as transparent and glossy I would like..... Also did my marker lights. I like them better than stock. What do you think?

Looks like stock JDM VIII GSR tails, but the indicator lens is slightly more matte in appearance.

yeah. i figured i'd give it a try. not that i'm bored, but just something i'm willing to tackle. i just ordered the amber spray from ebay. so the lens will look a little more transparent.

the DEPO LED ones are pretty nice and those are the ones i'm considering.

Not bad, as long as you have a backup plan keep experimenting. Update with pics if you decide to paint black, would like to see results.

So I put a new amber color and this one is alot nicer. Same brand different kind of "amber"
Added it to the front head lights too. Looks horrible because the reflector cup/bowl was painted black from the previous owner.(idiot!)

Still planning on painting the tails black.
