So you did not replace the clear pieces inside the tails? Is that just the outside cover tinted so you can't see right through it?

Something about it looks off to me...you should just use the flourescent light cover on the inside and outside tails, that way they match perfect. That's what I did....check my homepage for some pics of them..

Thanks for thte good feedback, i guess im the first todo it to the 97-99 tails

and i did replace the clear piece with the flourescent covers as well, i thinks they look a little different because of the housing inside the lights.

I used the tint spray you can get at AutoZone or at any other autoparts store.

I belive that you are the second person to do this mod.

How many layers do you spray? Do you spray the whold housing or just the florescent cover piece? That looks sooooo good!!!!
