My taillights got stolen -j/k,lol- Pics
Pics with the taillights
Pics with taillights stolen
Pics with the taillights... I'm the one who stole them,lol
Thanks to Chris for all the help...not even help..I was helping..he practically did everything!!!
We screwed up twice though...it was so hard redo-ing everything..but I guess we learn from our mistakes..
Keeping the reverse lights was the hardest to do!
Here are all the pics from the painting to the completion (Minus the sanding we did)
Before and after...for those who are considering this...

I'm not a big fan of painting over tail light, just because it's really hard to get it right. It might look even when the lights are off, but might not be when the light shines through. And I rarely see the tail lights polished as good as OEM, most of the time this can only be achieved with a good clearcoat applied with a professional spray gun.
Good luck and wish it turns out as good as you hope.
Eventhough you meant your heading to be a joke, I didn't think it was funny. That's just my opinion.

Yeah, and the main reason I kept them is because I got lasik surgery (surgery so you dont have to wear glasses) and the side effects of Lasik are deteriorated Night Vision...So I really need as much light as possible when I back out!
