I just got a set of clear tails. Here in Idaho there not legal, so I'm gonna get some taillight spray paint and paint them half red and leave the other half clear/white. Should I paint the top or the bottom red. i thought it would look good with the bottoms half painted. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Yeah your right they might fade but they will be good for a long time... whatever paint you use.. then use a good clear coat.. like an outdoor one or whatever and it will protect them for a really long time.....

I got the lights shipped for $18. I figure if i do a good job i can make them look pretty good. I'm still considering painting the top or bottom. i haven't got them yet. i need to see how big the lower part is to see if it's big enough to light up for my blinkers and brakes lights. then i also need to check to see if the bulbs will fit in the top/bottom slots.
