I'm about to mail out some red tint film for a few of the ClubLexus members...

Light outcome
Hey guys when you modified the tail light, did you also change the bulb. I mean when you turned on your blicker did it still show an amber color or did you chance you bulbs to white?

OKAY so i got the paint and started painting the way you guys said to..it was fine....i let it dry and everything....n once it seemed completply dry n i felt it all around n took the tape off safely n it all seemed good to go....while im putting the taillight back on...i gues i gave to much pressure to the light n my fingertip peeled off a finger print of paint!!!! NOOOO!!! Now i have like a fingerprint hole in the yellow area thats missing paint! WTF DO I DO!!!! I tried using paitn thinner to get it all out but it wont all come out....+ i ran out of paint on one of the other taillights, so they are different shades, what should i do? REDO both tiallights by stripping paint off somehow? Or somehow redo the area where the fingerprint took off the paint...PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!
