I've said it before and I'll say it again. When I see honeycomb taillights, I think "firebird/trans am" heh

It looks cool though.

Can't argue with that. I love the way it looks. Just now ordered me a set. I'll post some pics when I get them installed.

Let me ask all the painted peeps, I see there is a spray you can buy that tints the lenses so is it something you can do yourself, or is there some special tool/paint to make it look perfect?? Along those same lines, anyone done the whole DIY spray??

Absolutely do not go with covers....I did...mistake! the slide under the bottom of the taillight...between the light and bumper..and eventually will damage the paint in that area. It is a cheaper route to go...but I wasn't happy...got mine painted.


On another note...selling my covers! $35 (includes shipping). Cost $60 new and I only used them about 3 months. PM if interested

Hands down to what CutterWolf said. Painted professionally IS the best way to go! I got mine done professionally - here are the pictures.



Smoked tail lights on during the day (brake is not applied)



I currently don't have a picture with lights on at night, but I can get one for you. Want a night shot?
