Seeing as my earlier post was deleted....:coffee:

I'll ask the same question RedRyder did. Putting a white bulb in there will result in somewhat of a pink light. Amber would be a little on the dark/reddish side. I think a red bulb would have the best outcome. It won't be brilliant red but I think the red at the bottom will help strengthen it up and make it not as pink.

Definitely in for night pics.

Sorry I didn't under stand your post. They shine red perfectly. A white bulb will work fine for now. That pic makes them look pink for some reason..

lol...you definitely don't understand the question.

The upper half of your "custom" taillight is mostly clear, but also a small part of it has the red tint. Because of that, when that upper bulb lights up there will be a mixture of color between the clear section of that upper portion, and the tinted red area that is in the upper portion...people have been asking you what color that produces, since it won't look normal.

Get it yet?

Lol sorry, I thought I answered that question when redryder asked it.... It doesn't light up much if any. I'll post pics later to show what I mean.

You have definitely done what I have been wanting to do for a while now for my coupe.
I cant wait to see this finished so I can see if all the work that is required is really worth little the difference.:coffee:

Well they turned out pretty good but I am OCD. So don't mind the panel gap. The trunk needs to be re aligned to make them match up 100%, eithere way here is a few day shots
