If you just buy the sheet do you cut out the reverse lights???
And the precut ones would already have it cut right?

Any help is appreciated!

Cool, thanks!

If only I could find a cheap set of 2011 outer tail lights, that would be so much better than the red out haha!

Mine were from ebay too and I don't see a problem with it. Red out vinyl is so low tech and it is not have to be made in USA. And it's less than $10. If it does not work out, I will just get another set. no biggie.

Rvinyl it is if you prefer shipped from US.

I bought mine from the listing above. The vinyl comes in 4 pieces, 2 per light. I haven't installed them yet but I'm told it's easier to install compared to the single cutout vinyl.

The first one I bought was from this listing and those come in single pieces. They're currently out of stock though. I messed this one up when I was installing it so that's why I had to buy the second set... If you get the single cut vinyl go to this thread for tips on how to do it correctly the first time.

Same with the uk on my old celica I did this and used yellow! Not amber! Yellow leds bulbs this worked!
