Sliding down the slippery slope has commenced

Eagle · Sep 9, 2009

Just did my first mod... well actually I'm only 1/2 done. I ran out of light, and then it started raining so I only got one side done.

I really hated the red rimmed lights compared to the black, so I did what anyone would do, I grabbed the tape, a razor blade and some duplicolor trim paint and made my own.

I'm sure this is common but I felt like sharing anyway!

I'll try to remember to take a comparison pic on the truck before I remove the other lens again.

wow, maybe it's just me but I haven't seen anyone do that before. Looks like OEM 04-06 lights to me great job.

That does look good. Damn, might have to add that to my to do list.

Looks good, haven't seen anyone do it before, outside of the stock ones that come that way. I like Jenna's tail lights the best if I ever had to stay stock.

nah, I don't mind at all. go for it!
I will give you a couple of tips...
1: don't use masking tape for the outer edge, use electrical tape. No bleed thru and a crisper edge.
And
2: go around the edge with the razor blade before you try to peel the tape off.
Otherwise you'll peel the trim paint off with the tape.

additional pictures as promised, sorry for the poor picture quality. I'll reshoot a final pic tomorrow.

Painted on the right, red on left (sorry about the shadow!)

Both painted and daylight fading.
