Default Candied taillights

I was wondering how to candie taillights and how they hold up against weather and stuff. I was thinking it would be a whole lot better to just candie my taillights then spend $100 on some 98+ ones.

Thanks for the help

check out the Do It Yourself section of HAN. I think there is a post on that subject for tails and heads.

I recommend you just buy the 98+ ones for the best result. Yes, they will rip you a new asshole on the price, but the final outcome will look much nicer.

IMO, $150 for a little bit of amber turned into red isn't worth it, but it is your car and do what you please.
