I don't know how well it would work but you might want to try and put it on the inside of the light, or you could do what was said to do on the web sight and if it looks cheap take it off, its only vinyl.

IMO, they look like crap on the 95-96's. It's got too much red, and not enough clear. Thats why I didnt do it on mine.

I think they look ok, not as good as red/clear but much better than Amber. And since you cannot get red/clears for a 95/96 unless you make them or have someone make them for you its a good cheap alturnative. Nadir_s and a few others have done it and it came out ok. And a few even, have redded out all of the tails which looks kinda nice but them your back up lights are red also which is illegal.

You could leave a small hole in the middle of the red in where the backup lights are, that way it still shows up clear.

YOu can just paint them... i did this this past weekend, and just put them in now.. All i have gotten is compliments on how sweet the car looks. Basically all you have to do, is buy a can of Stained glass SPRAY paint. You don't want to paint it on, just spray it.. let it dry for a good 6 hours or so and your done.. it took me all of 5 min to do, and it looks SICK IMO.... ill have pics to come soon on my homepage...
