You cannot do any color other than black if you are using the syringe method. It would look VERY sloppy, as the lines would not be straight.

Is it possible, I have a custom shop in the area And they spray tail lights, without smoking the whole lens would it work to spray the outside and he finishes with clear coat and everything.. Just to do the existing black outlines and keep the red, or would it look weird..cause I've looked in them and I have a lot of glue which what I have read here is an problem

Id say ebay, unless someone on craigslist is just trying to get rid of them. Vary between 130-160 when i got mine.

Look in the 09 parts for sale section, there is a guy there that sells them brand new for $55. The caveat is that you give him $140 then he ships new in the box HD tails. Then you ship him your stock chrome ones and he refunds $85 so you end up paying $55 for new tail lights.
