Looks good.
If I were to do it, (not going to)... I'd make a cut out for them and turn them over for use on the opposite side.

That way both sides are EXACLTY identical, as I can see some look slightly different.

I would have just taken the lights out to do them instead of covering all that car too hahaha.
They are easy peasy to take out.

Great point. I had to take the lights out for the sequential tail light mod. Taking then out was easy.

They would look good in nighttime if they were identical. But weird in daylight.

I agree. But if you spray your lights while they are on with a brick on your brake pedal, you know when you have enough layers. Or missed a spot.

Wow, that looks great.

Thanks for uploading the templates.
I'd like to try something similar but permanent with a spare set of OE lights.

Or you can turn your lights on I left them in the first time i did it, I was afraid it would look bad during the day so I didn't take my time on them, but they looked alright so the second time i took them out and took my time, when you see them during the day they just look like tinted lights

I think they look good during the day too. I get compliments all over Fort Bliss. From cars distance, they just look tinted.

Can I ask why you didn't cut out the center like the '13 lights? I think that might make it look better.

I do love the night shots.
The day shots.. I dunno.... while they look decent they just look
like they were done by someone and factory.

I'd have to pass if I wanted to do them until someone came out with some to buy
or a way to do it where they look factory

I vote for separating the lights and painting the inside!
