Well....it costs a little more than that - I did it 2 weeks ago and it cost me the $55 + $26 to ship my original ones from FL to CA.

Like RES4CUE says, there's a guy on the forum that does the $55 deal.

great mod did mine today.. didn't take long at all.. the toughest part was the edge closest to the tail gate. I decided to tape up the entire taillight and use the spray can to spray some into the groove and it worked great messy but great!!

Where is the best place to get those Harley raptor lights I found some on CL but they wanted $350 for them. I wish there was an easy way to take the lences off and paint the borader around the lights.

Look in the for sale section here. There is a member named shakezone that sells them for $140 then if you ship him your old ones he will refund $85 leaving you with $55 tails less the shipping it took to send them to him.

It Stinks in Here...
I ordered the FX style taillights and painted the edges before I installed them.
Before:
After:
I used this paint. It is water based and pre-thinned for airbrush use on plastic models:
They turned out pretty ok. There is a couple of spots where I couldn't get the glue out, but you have to look right at them to see it. I used a syringe that I got at Walmart pharmacy for free for the first coat. Just asked them for a baby syringe. I then used a small paint brush to put a second and third coat on and do some touch up. I spread it out over two days, but my total time in doing it was about two and half hours. I will keep an eye on them to see how the paint holds up. All in all, I am happy and I love the love the look.
