Looks pretty good lit up. For your debadging, if its really Superglue, use acetone ( nail polish remover) or check with a paint shop or even Napa for pro paint solvent. Try to determine what the glue is first.

I think it gives it a smoked look and definitely better than stock. 95-96 backwards lights are tough to look at so this takes off the edge...i prefer the 97-99 look not bad and pontiacs not in the wildest dream can look like a max.

I actually think it looks pretty good, especially for being so cheap. Looks awesome at night.
As for the goo, have you tried taking a razor blade and carefully trying to just scrape between trying your best not to pull the paint off? I wouldn't doubt the clear coat under where the crazy glue was is damaged for sure regardless.

I did the same with my lights a few years ago, except I took a little more time to do it. I spent $10 and used the 1/4 inch pinstripes at autozone.
I looks much better in person, especially at night. I like it more than the nightshade stuff.

Take some night pix so we can see how well the light goes through the tape.

The lights are still very visible. I never had any problems, and I live in Los Angeles, they pull you over for just about anything here.

And as for taping lights FTL, I don't particularly like the striping, but my tape job turned out not bad, happy with it until I can afford some LED tails.
Thats the best pic you're getting right now my computer is ill..... sorry.

no I just wired the signals into the outer tails. It was similar to the OP, was bored one day. Like I said it turned out ok so I left it for the time being. I won't change it unless I get LED tails/red clears.
and before you ask, yes you can see the reverse lights because its a white light.
