I purchased the vinyl from Rvinyl 7.50 shipped for a two square feet sheet - fast shipping!
Here is the template that I created:

I went with the wet method where I sprayed the tali light with soap/water mix to position the vinyl. After I positioned them they look great!

That looks fantastic! Now my questions are: is Rvinyl a member? Is there a link you can provide so I can purchase exactly what you have? And what exactly are the steps of the wet method? I know nothing lol

No, if you look at the original tail light the signal piece is yellow. The vinyl simply covers that area so now the light looks uniformly red.

Is this it?
Please forgive me for being annoying, but what sort of soap do you use in the soap and water mix?
What do you do after you spray it and position the vinyl?

- Clean the tail-light very well. Make sure there is no wax or anything on it.
- Prepare a solution of water and shampoo - put about 4 drops into it (baby shampoo works the best). Fill the rest with water - just use a standard spray bottle.
- Spray down the tail light and your hands with the water solution. Peel off the vinyl and spray water on both sides also.
- Position the vinyl on the tail-light. If its not right peel off and do it again, make sure that it is plenty wet.
- When you think you have it centered, start from the middle and push out any extra water or air bubbles. Do this gently as I used a squeegee and it marked up the vinyl. I just used my fingers instead.
- Repeat on the other side and then pat yourself on the good work you just did
