Default Red outs, whos got em?

Just wondering how many people on this forum have their tail lights red-out...


(Hope it's alright to use your pic, I found it under the DIY section.)

i got the redouts and i think it looks 100 times better . . . no regrets here.

only thing i would change is if later i added some smoked or black out tails. i think the red gives the all black look a good contrast though.

I don't have them, and I don't plan on doing them.

While not great looking, the amber doesn't look bad IMO. Also, I've ALWAYS liked amber taillights more than red, as I think they are easier to see.

Also, another thing I've noticed is that from just a short distance away (ie- a few car lengths behind an IS), the red appears to blend down into the amber anyway.

Just my 2 cents worth... no offense to those that have it.

It really depends which vinyl you use. I think mine is perfect, not too dark or too light.

Not a problem, I put mine on 15mins after I got home with the car. They've been on since Dec. 2005 and still look the same.

Sometimes less is more. I love the red outs!
