1: This is how the reverse lights are now...


2: This is how they were a month or so ago...


Which one do you think looks better? I can't decide, I don't know how well it looks right now. I kind of like it the was it was before.

 

Not feeling either one...I say tinted stock ones would looks best.


Still kinda neat that you painted the ones in the top pic

 

What tinted black???

The second one is just stockers tinted red.

The first one is stockers painted to match the car.

 

The more I look at the top pic the more I guess I kinda like it....Its different

but yeah I usually like the look of the stock lights tinted black.

 

I would rather see tinted lights than either of those.

 

illegal either way...and IMO it doesnt look good enough to justify the attention of cops

 

Illegal??? You don't need reverse lights, at least in MI you don't. Its a courtesy rather than a law.

They still have the tail lights which are reflective.

 

2nd ones.

 

neither
tinted ftw!!!

 

second pic is sick!! deff go back. i think it looks better then black imo.

1st pic looks like you half assed a shaved trunk, and looks like ****. hope that didn't hurt ur feelings

 

i like em both.

 

I'll probably go back to the stock ones tinted red sometime down the road. I got it in color and not primmer for once so I'm gonna let it be for a bit.

Thanks for the opinions.

 

I would just do them completely black but if that's not your style, keep them tinted red and then give them a light smoke.

 

you gotta be kidding me. you dont need reverse lights over there?
thats kinda ridiculus

 

I just don't want the all black tails. I plan on painting my headlights stock color to match. That was kind of the plan with these but as you can see they didn't turn out the way I thought.

Yea, as for the reverse light laws here. I agree with you that it is ridiculous, but so is a **** load of laws that MI has and does not have.

 

i like the tinted red ones the best.

 

Old way for sure!

 

I like the 2nd one better for sure.

 

Okay, the second ones, tinted obviously, stained glass paint or MetalCast? Or other? Take them apart and do inside, or outside?

Another thing, clean ass MI victory red Cobalt's FTW!

Love it man.

 

haha hell yea Joe.

The bottom (2nd) one is a mid coat clear. DBC500 with about 5% of DBC red base. Then I cleared over that. They don't look really "shinny" in the photo but they are. I think I am going to go back to those here in a bit.

Gonna rock the whole color matched reverse lights for a bit though.

 

2nd or tint them black. It would look good with the rest of the black on your car.

 

^^^ true. I am gonna give the blacked out tails a chance in a bit.

 

Yeah man, black and red is sexy!

Check out my tail lights, so far no one else has them. BUt, I do know people have asked where I've gotten them, and I think ls1 is getting them soon!

 

nice and diff. but i like the old ones a tad more

 

Planning on expermenting once I get 06g85s reverse lights.
