Rasp made a set of LED tail lights as well. How about a side to side comparison? (just for fun)

didn't bake the tail light. I think the tail lights are plastic fused together. I opened the back of the tail light.

when you "opened the back of the tail light" ... were you able to access the silver pieces between the lights?? I want to paint those black...

LED's look great.

they cut the back to the brake light only. i would really like to paint the reflectors pieces black too, but i don't see how it'd be possible until someone cuts the whole backing

The easiest way would be to take apart the tail light....but since i have a extra set of tail lights that are damaged i'll try it and let you guys know.
