Blood Red Taillight Project

Well, after deciding against tinting my lights, because I want to keep the depth and detail of the inside, I have decided to try a little project that is coming along VERY well so far. I have seen the dremel method, and decided it's messy and not very acurate. So far, cut apart the housings, keeping a very precise line to they litteraly snap back together, and will have to be sealed, but leaves very little room for error, also is still visually appealing so it doesn't look like a hack job.

Cutting Lines



Taken Apart



Waiting on the inner housings to dry but I will get pics as soon as I get them done, followed shortly after by being re-installed and sealed.
