Hey there, I finally got some pictures of them today. Check it out. Got the girds on there a while ago, and did them up soild red about 2 weeks ago. Lots of clear on those babies. Was out in the snow and snapped a pic with my digital. And to apaise the person who personally thought his life was in danager, My reverse lights are white.

I used Testors Translucent Candy Apple red model paint. Just cleaned them and applied a few coats. Then I used some about 3 layers of clear high gloss and polished it off with some laqour finish. Yup the light comes trhough nice and bright.

ya those lights look great all red, good job. You mentioned what paint and clear you used etc, but do you just apply this to the outside of the lense??????

un4givin89

Yup
