If you do them all red they will look good, like everyone said. I had my taillights like that on my 95 Integra. Transparent red vinyl does the trick.

i still have the old school all-clear tail lights on my car. the original ricer tail lights. anyway, back in 99' they became illegal on military bases. so i went to a hobby/craft store and bought a couple sheets of red transparent red sticky vinyl. i only tinted the part of the light that is supposed to be red and left the rest clear. its been on my car since 99' and has not bubbled or peeled off. i used a credit card and razor blade while putting it on and it came out perfect, no bubbles.

thank god i didnt put nuespeed stickers under the vinyl, so when it lights up you see the work nuespeed. thats what i was going to do, man i was such a ricer back then.

I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

Or you can do it yourself for free, and not pay $15 for something that costs 12 cents.
