I painted my lights with the lights still on the car just protect your car from over spray.

Lightbulb hello

my 2 cents.
hello yah. Listen I have tried both ways on GS 98' lights & 01 lights. Both Tint red 20% film & Walmart Candy paint & Professional Brake tail lamp spray.
Lextasy400- Hey was that birdie Jimmy??? Hey don't be a stranger. are ya going to the NY meet?
Cam - Please come to the NY Club Lexus meet to see the results on my GS color match is as close as it's gonna get. OEM look. check out the Northeast Club Lexus forum. under Apirl 25th meet
20% film works very well but will end up peeling off or bubbling with air pockets.
Candy apple paint(walmarts) is not oem look. close but NO cigar.
Japanese Brake taillamp spray is perfect. Each coat should be about 10% tint color light transmitency.
So 2 coats will give you OEM factory red color.

whatever you do, DO NOT use paint STRIPPER. it'll deform the whole thing. found out the hard way on my old maxima.

I really like Panda's idea. The silver transparent tape is awesomel, almost gives that JP look to the tails except it's silver tape and not clear plastic.

Looks hott!!!
