Re: tail lights
should be okay. mate has just sprayed his jet black. as long as the light shines through it should be okay. 
as for the actual chrome clusters I don't know, but you could just spray the lights.

Re: tail lights
well i might just spray them tonight anyway, then when it goes for an MOT put the standard ones back on, or if it dont look good i will just put standards back on.
Thanks for your help

Re: tail lights
how do you remove the plastic outer part away from the rest of the rear light though ?

Re: tail lights
well i think i will use a hair dryer coz from what i have read its glued on like the bumper strips are to the door. so a hair dryer and something to remove the cover should do the trick.

Re: tail lights
Hello guys! I know that my post here is too late and I do apologize for that. I'm interested at the topic here. By the way how was your lexus tail light doing? And I just want to ask, is it really necessary to put covers for tail light? Because I think it will not totally protect your tail light in some situation. thanks.
