Default Red turnsignal overlay

So I finally got around to doing the red tint on my rear signals yesterday with the help of my cousin. I couldn't find any precuts for the 16 therefore I bought I roll of tint and he cut it all himself and it came out quite nice. Lmk what you guys think

So now your rear turn indicators are red instead of amber? I don't get the point of the change.

looks good, i remember seeing one done up close and i didnt care for the look of the film though. i wonder how hard it would be to paint the inside of the lens red or use a red sharpie. would it be possible even to get inside?

Yea I bought it myself and he installed it for me cause I'm not very good at it. And the best thin is that it's a perfect match. I'll give the link, https://www.ebay.com/itm/270865574822

How is the visibility of the signal now? I've seen some mods where you can barely see when the turn signal is in use especially in bright sunight.

My turn signal is also red led so now it's so visible. Without the vinyl it was just alright but now with the vinyl it is very visible. As you can see from one of the pics i attached.
