Painted Tail Light Housings

Hey guys, this is something cool I thought I would share with everyone. Most people get their headlights painted and their tail lights tinted from the outside. But recently, I had the inside of my tail lights painted to bring out the details and lines that are masked by the all red look.

Here are some preview pictures I have while the inner tails are painted. I should have more pics of them installed hopefully by next week or early the week after next.

Seems like an easier alternative to painting them. How much were they?

I bought the tail lights off Keyur last month, LOVE the look. I had vinyl on my previous coupe and after 2 years, it just started to fade and didn't have that clean look. I'm loving this look so far.

With the lights painted like that on the inside is it still street legal? Tickets now for smoked tail lights are up to around $500 but since this isn't covering the whole light I figured it was worth asking. Does anyone know?

Goonz- Love the look, did you vinyl wrap your roof or paint it black? I was considering doing a blacked out look on my graphite shadow Q50 RS. I'm planning to dechrome it and get black 20" rims. I was considering doing the roof too. I got the black grille replacement, do you guys think painting the chrome the body color or matte black to match the vinyl is a better way to go? Thanks for any feedback.

Man, those taillights look sweet!

Goonz, can you post a few pix of the taillights when you have the its lights on, and also when stepping on the brakes?

The area's that light up in the tail light are not painted so it will look nothing different than OEM, below is the best pic I can do for now, this was when I first installed them in January.

Great winter project. I wonder how they re-sealed them....?

Man that really sets off the lights, such a minor change but ti really helps make it look premium.

They reseal them through the use of plastic welding. I?ve had them throughout a NJ winter and all types of other weather, they?ve held up fine. Something as simple as blacking out the housings makes a huge difference for lights like these that have a lot of details!
