Default good idea from my friend

so for those of you that dont know, my car has a biohazard symbol theme as you can see on my front license plate. also my license plate says hazard and i have a custom shift **** with a biohazard symbol on it. the other day my buddy suggested to find a way to make my light bulbs in my tail lights appear that theyre biohazard symbols. i think this is an awesome idea, considering my sequentials already draw attention to the area. i feel like ive seen this on a vette before, but i dont remember if it was like a cut out on the tail light or what. so just wondering if anyone has any suggestion on how this could be done? or if you even think this is a good idea? thanks!

Do you want the actual bulb to appear as a biohazard symbol or the taillight lens?

^ What he said. Maybe if you look hard enough (or are crafty enough) you can get taillight tint that has a bio-hazard pattern cut in it...

thats what i was thinking. i know im not gonna find a bulb that looks like that. i already have a tint on it, so would it be easy to get to the inside of the tail light to mount a cut out of the symbol or something? or is it pretty difficult to get inside there

It seems difficult to me...pretty sure those suckers are water-tight. I think it's a good idea though if you can pull it off well. It would be unique.

What if you got one of those tinted covers, and then had someone laser cut the biohazard symbol into the plastic? I'm not sure how that would look when the lights are off, but it'd show when they are on. The coolest thing though would be if you could find a way so that it can't be seen until the lights come on.

Hmmm I don't know how easy it would be... unbolt it from the body and tinker around! What kind of tint do you have on the tails? Vinyl? If it was vinyl, you might just be able to find a pattern online that you can use to cut out the pattern? Have tinted tails except for the bio-hazard pattern...

yea i have the vinyls but the reason i dont want to cut them into the vinyls is because i only want ppl to see it when they light up, not just when the car is sitting there. thats why i was trying to think of an inside the light type thing. but like HT said im pretty sure they are water tight. im gonna look into it when i have some time then

How about a set of GTS taillight covers with vinyl biohazard stickers mounted on the inside of the cover so the images are only seen when the lights are on or the brake is applied? This would also allow you to remove them when you want to???

Hmmm that's a good idea! I might have to look into that. The only reason I might be skeptical is bc those might be darker than my tints right now. Great idea tho!
