    I thought about buying fugly alteza LED tails for my girlfriends truck and spraying them red then tinting them but figured not much light would make it through after that
    Now I just wont buy another set of LED tails

    Are you talking about the chrome bezels?
    He has the stock FX4 taillights which have black bezels to start but the outline of the actual taillight is white for some reason
    better seen here

    He just used generic black paint, couldnt tell you what kind but it wasnt anything special

    Not to sure, I'm going to be opening up a set of dodge ran taillights here soon I'll let you know how that goes lol

    It seems like most taillights are plastic welded shut rather then clipped and sealed like most headlights so you can just pop then in te oven and open then up

    We'll see!
