I am pretty sure it is illegal to red out the reverse lights. The lights aren't for your benefit, but the people behind you that know that you are backing up. I woiuld highly recommend not doing this. Plus, I don't see how it would impact rear visibility since you would still be able to see out the back window, it would not be affected.

They do flash red when the light is activate. I'm still amazing how that lil vinyl work on the taillight. At 1st i thought it's not gonna look good but just want to try and see since they're cheap and if i don't like it, it's very easy to remove. I wouldn't red out the reverse section because i think it will actually dim the reverse light, even i think backup camera will need a lot of light to see at night.:d

This mod may be illegal in certain states. Some states indicate that you are not allowed to cover any required light (headlight, taillight, turn signal, backup light) with any sticker or other material. Please make sure you know the laws of your state before you modify any part of your car.

At 1st you might have a lil bubles, but after a while they will start to disappear. I only have to wrap only the amber part of the taillights. The important step is trimming to make them look perfect around the line between the amber and red part of the lights

If you are in a position where you can only see one tail light of a car in front of you (such as, the car is one lane over from you in heavy traffic), then it is much easier to tell the difference between braking and turning signals when you have orange for turning. Another thing is that the front turn signals are stil orange, so I like the consistency - orange lights mean turning, on the front and on the back.
But, this is a perfectly legal mod, so if all you guys like it that much, it's cool with me. Don't mess with the backup lights though - those definitely have to be white!

you sure its 50 state legal? it would suck if your 'cool' mod meant youre not going to pass inspection.

Covers, including those with emblems, names or designs cannot be installed over any required or approved lamp, light or lens unless equipped as standard factory equipment.
So this would seem to indicate that this mod is actually illegal in Virginia. As for other states, I guess you will have to do the research for your specific state.
