Thanks man!

But I dont mind if the stickers ultimately get compromised, they were 14.95 shipped for the pair off ebay...

Im really thinking about red dipping the tailgate and cutting the quarter back off with red so it just leaves that big wide black slash.

Getting a pretty serious case of Dip Finger pain though...

I just don't understand reducing light output. Stupid thing to do.
But if it looks cool, I guess thats all that matters (till you get rear ended and sued).

If you wanted them to be on paint just peel the section out of where your going to put them

My lights pass the state law for light output.... Tell me again how I am gettin sued??? Now yes people who use spray paint or plastidip on their lights are stupid... And even people that use so much VHT nightshade that it's no better than using spray paint... Yeah I'd agree. But when I still pass the state requirements of light output for my taillights... Then no I completely disagree with you. I took the time to research my laws and made sure I kept my lights within those laws....

Even passing a state inspection you can still be blamed. I have had the same issue. I got rear ended and the officer said even tho they met state lighting laws, I was still at fault.

Well please do explain how if I meet the laws expectations I can still be blamed? (Being curious not mocking) ive still yet to have had a problem with someone seeing me slow down... I'm way better off than people who dont even keep their lights functioning, at least all 3 of mine are bright and working. I'll take my chances tho... No different than my illegal tint @15-20% or my off road lights that don't have covers or my exhaust that is technically too loud by the laws db readings or in some states where I couldn't have my tires stick out past the fenders

I guess I don't understand why you would want to take that much of a chance in hurting others with your truck. (?) I mean everything you mentioned is either annoying or puts others at risk.

Is there a law against common sense where you are ?

Just curious here as well.

Well I can see out my windows... Doesn't hurt anyone there, I don't use my off road lights on the road, the law just states they must be covered while on the road, again doesn't hurt anyone there. My exhaust doesn't wake my neighbors up when I come home, I have all four cats instill so again doesn't hurt anyone, my tires stick out barely a quarter inch, don't even have chips on my own paint from them so again doesn't hurt anyone there.... I'm not seeing how any of that hurts people ... Please do explain???
