6.0 gen sedan tails

after doing the DIY black housed headlights i thought to myself "hmmm...i wonder if it would look good if i did the same thing to the tail lights?" and no im not talking about the whole entire tail light housing, just the turning signals and reverse light reflectors. if done properly do any of you guys think it would nice? you guys are probably thinking "dude just tint them". my idea was that i could save the time sanding and clearing them so that they look shiny and blended.

the tail lights use the housing to disperse the light so if you paint all that you're gonna kill the light output. tint the inside of the lens instead

alright. i was wondering if it would do that. tinting is a little less stressful too. thanks.

If you black house your tails then you will ruin them. The ability to reflect light is vital. Aftermarket lights like Depo makes black housed LED tails but the turn signal and reverse are still reflective chrome/silver. Tinting would be ideal. Try Lamin-X.

i will say this...red/clear tailights are pretty much your best bet for a good looking read end.

yea if you've seen my page you'll see that is pretty much the only option we have unless you get the red clear LED tails. the look really similar but they're LED.
