a while back i remember seeing a post that talked about taping off the orange on the tail lights with red translusent tape. I am very interested in doing this. I also want to know how the heck you get to the inside of the tail lights? and how do u take off the clips that hold the trunk liner inplace?

thanks for any help you guys can give me

also where can you buy the red translusent tape?

thanks again

I think it's 3M transparent red film. Or it could be generic.

You dont' need to take it apart. Buy a piece of film. Cut it to the shape. Just apply the film over the red part.

I don't know where you can get it in Denver.

I will take some pics soon.

hey, for the first part of your question, you just need to cut the tape to the right size and stick it on, but make sure its the right color, i got a too dark red and ended up not puttin them on, for there rear lights

come here and check out my website, it should tell you everything you need to know
