Well...read ur laws theres usually some pretty vague wording. I dont care what the cops think! Thats half the reason i got in my local volunteer fire department! For the plates!
My cousin actually painted these and said first things first "they hv to be legal"

McSworley is infamous around these parts
I like your tail lights.

How did they paint them ?

I ask, as I'm told it is not all that difficult, so I'm thinking of having mine done.

Any thoughts or recommendations ?

Ahh yes! The k24 fiasco! I bought it andshould be shipping. It wasnt easy to find a sigle K24.

Regarding the paint couple drops of black in the clear coat, 2 coats, and buff

Looks real good on your ride!

I've had mine tinted for a year now, been pulled over about 6 times but never a mention of the tail lights.

I think the clear cut-out makes the difference 'cause the blinker and back-up light are stock brightness.
Most of the time the cops think they are some new design led lights
