I was thinking about that, still am actually. Thinking about spraying my turn signal lens Candy Apple red so it too will be red and hopefully won't get hassled by the cops. I think that'll look pretty sweet. Im trying to talk myself into it Well, I did my other light yesterday when I got home, it only took me like 10 minutes to do this one. This time I left it clipped, cut it as much as I could, then unclipped it and got some needle nose pliers and twisted and pulled until I got all pieces out. They look pretty sweet, im thinking real hard about painting the signal lens though. You guys think that would look sweet? All red tails except the reverse light which is still gonna be clear.

And by the way, my lights came out good, there was a little bit of shavings in there but nothing an airhose couldn't take care of.

 

I didn't have much problems with that plastic piece, the rotozip bit and the dremel made easy work of it

 

I really think its up to you to red out the rest or not, I, myself don't like it too much unless I put more into my cars like rims(prob. here, $$$ lol) b/c I think if its too much red, it'll stand out which is not a bad thing, I'm just going for a subtle look, more cruise and clean, less racing type. Either way, you can't lose. =)

 

Yeah, I hear you on the $$$ problem, my car has been parked for the last month and a half while I try to get the parts needed to fix it from the wreck I got into I rear ended a full size Chevy truck on the freeway, messed up my hood, fender,bumper, radiator support and headlight assy. Not to mention footing the $500 repair bill to fix the dudes truck I hit. I have insurance but I didn't want to run it through them, don't want any points on my record or higher insurance premiums so I figured I'd just fix it myself. My girlfriend has a 6th gen Accord so its not like I had to take the bus or nothing. Could you imagine that, me, 26 years old paying for a day pass on the bus?:down: Anyways, I'm still not sure if I want to paint the lens yet, im thinking about it, but haven't made up my mind. I'll let you guys know if I decide to paint them, post pics too

 

haha i hear you on that. that little mofo damn near drove me over the edge...i had no dremel.

 

you could have used an xacto knife or a soldering iron too. Actually, i'd recommend using one of those methods over a dremel, you wont get any shavings inside, just melted plastic which you could shake right out.
