I was washing the back of the taillights and one of the bulbs was loose. Soapy water got in and dried.

I got my lights installed, looks pretty nice against the red candy.
Installed the HD headlights as well, can't wait till I can get a replacement grille.

Not sure why the pics are sideways, and I can only upload one per comment.
Must be the ipad.

Ok here's a question or two for you guys...

1. How well can you see the paint through the plastic lens? I have tuxedo black (UH) touch up paint I could use for this but figure it would be a waste if you can't make out the metal flakes in the paint through the lens.

2. Is the gap large enough to fit a string of LEDs inside? I like the LED halo/silhouette look (see photo below). If I can fit some in there I would probably shoot some VHT Night Shades into the crevice and then stuff the LEDs in. I guess I'll have to remove the tails when I get home and see for myself how narrow this channel is.

I wouldn't bother wasting touch up tux black paint, I used black acrylic paint and I don't think it makes much of a difference. How often are you going to have your face up to your tail lights examining them? I imagine that would be the only time you'd notice the metallic.

I'll leave question #2 for someone that's more electrically inclined.

Did mine today with Rustoleum Black Paint. Looks so much better.

I used that new water based tremclad black.... what a waste of time, half of it peeled up. now I have to try and pull it and the RTV out of the crack... or get new lights... Im thinking my wifes cheap *** black acrylic craft paint would work way better.

Well, I will admit this but I skipped the silicone step. I figured I would do it after the paint but I was to inpatient to install once they were done.
So, now I have moisture in my tail lights. I need to remove, dry them out and silicone.
Just a heads up, it's worth it to do the silicone.
