If I had a dollar for everytime I have answered this...

Try Krylon stained glass paint at your local craft store, for under $5.

Half red. We weren't talking about all-red.

No, no, no. You can't paint white over orange. The Krylon Stained Glass Paint (red) is used to paint over the lower half of the all-clear taillights. However, these taillights are extinct.
