brighter tail lights

How dark do you have them tinted? Can you post a photo?

One option would be to get the brightest red LED replacement bulb / array you can find.

Painting your taillights is an awesome idea..
Paint the one thing used to alert the people behind that your coming to a stop..
They are only driving a vehicle three thousand pounds or heavier.. no biggie..

just bustin your balls.. :lol:

Upgrade to the 2001 to 2004 taillights, they are far brighter than the older flat taillights..
then go to this thread.. :waytogo:

Don't get Chris on his "acetone" rant. You'll never hear the end of it. Acetone is probably too aggressive for a plastic polymer, unless one doesn't car about the luster.

acetone is probally a lil too agressive for plastic. if he wanted to take the tint off and try again i would say to try some more mild wax and grease remover and if that doesnt do the job then get paint reducer. acetone, laquer thinner, nail polish remover, etc. are no go's on plastic

Too bad i didn't see this thread last week. I ruined my corners.

You can sand what ever you used off. I would start with 800 grit then 1500, again with 300 if you have access to it. Then polish them with regular rubbing compound. They will come out better then or just as good as factory.

I have a set of 01-04 lenses for sale hit me up.

Acetone is great if you don't care about any adhesives coming apart on what your working with.... :waytogo:

why would he need them? i though they all switched over.Like just change the lenses.
