I believe they looked better professionally painted. You need to black out your reflectors

I prefer the "rice" look of blacked out tails... But that's just me. I've never gone for that VIP look

If you want some bright reverse lights, just get some 15w HIDs

The reverse lights and blinkers weren't really visible as muchbas I would like. Going backwards at night was because I could barely see. It's so much better now.
