I hope you're kidding about the tail lights being a major factor in buying out the lease .....

They were a little over $300 per lamp...recovered most of that by selling my clear ones...

I was able to swap my 2014 clears with red ones from a 2010. Direct plug and play, no problems. It took 5 minutes.

Looks like that paint gives the tails more of a flat or satin finish.

It does. One day I’ll hit it with a polisher to see if it shines up, but I don’t mind it.

I took them off so I didn’t have to tape up the body, but I didn’t sand

Nope! Two bolts and two clips per side and they’re out.
