Yes. Buy them at a pep boys or any other automotive shop. Look for red lens repair tape. Make sure they come big enough to cover the lights though. If you want the big sheet like globeclk, you might have to go to a specialty shop though. Hope that helped.

What's canadian tire? Just kidding - since I used to live in Toronto ages ago. But remember most Americans will have no idea that Canadian Tire is a chain of huge K-Mart like stores.

Hi Sasha,

When you finish your side marker, please let me know, I am interested in doing it as well.

Xsuperjoex,
Thanks for you grill tip. I did it last night, it looks awsome. I went to service my car today, all the sales people came out to take a look.

Unfortuantly the red film was too dark and did not fit the color of the rear lights so i put in on the front end corners and it looks great!
