Anyone try the red tint spray to do all red tails? And I was wondering if it would be possible to re-wire the nighttime running lights to them for all three lit at night, and make some LED strips the reverse ones? Just some ideas bouncing around in my head.

^^^I've done it both ways... Candy red and VHT red. I will say the candy red gives a much nicer red in my opinion. That is if you can do it with that. For ease and affordability I just use the VHT paint.

what about the reverse lights? aren't they supposed to be white? or na. I'm sure its not "legal" so i would assume you would have to swap the tails out with a stock set for inspection purposes.

I HATE YOU because I want this License plate... I have tried for 6 years to get "AWESOME" in Maryland, but whoever has it won't give it up!

Everytime I register my truck at a show its a 2006 GMC Awesome... people usually say "Wow, a GMC Awesome, I've never heard of that" I say "Yeah, they only made one... and it's Awesome".

Texas does not require reverse lights at all. I shaved the reverse off the trunk lid of my old cavalier and had no problem getting inspected. In harris county (Houston and surounding areas) which is strict on emissions.
