Default IS 300 Red Outs on Tail lights

Alright, I've searched and searched for pictures of IS 300's who have done red outs on their tails. I couldn't find anything! Found pics of the GS's and IS 250.

please point me to the right direction or post some pics of only red out tail lights on a IS 300....

Thanks!

Does anyone have also a bo lexus with black out/ tinted tail lights. I originally was going to black out because i have never heard of red out but that still looks tight.

The 'red out' is usually painted housing, but I've seen the odd one that has made the overlays them selves. Some1 (sorry name escapes me) with a white one on here just did red.

Blacking them is obviously much simpler because you can tint / spray / over lay / paint / etc.

Ok, I want to paint the housing red for sure now! Yeah, I posted a comment on that dude's white IS. I think the red outs look so much cleaner on a lighter color IS, but the black looks very good too.

Yeah, everyone does the black though. I can't wait to get this done on my Sportx!!

Hey Fay, what have you done to your tails? Any pics?

the red is not the housing, its a spray on glass tint made by krylon thats how i did mine but you can get the overlay but that just seems like more of a pain in the *** and i dont do stickers... my luck id get some bubbles and be pissed off

Wow that's a pretty hot pic!!
There is a spray that you get and you spray the actual lens!!!
It's pretty cheap and easy to do, sometimes people sell their painted tails for like $150 on here if you keep your eyes open...






I have these tails and the trunk tails too, just waiting till I get a few more parts then I'll put them on!!! yay!!!
