I'll definitely check that out, thanks

Here are some better pics:









Here's a closeup - The mark on the right is just silicone ftr



Aaaand a comparison shot



It looks a lot better at night as well, because instead of the light reflecting off everything inside, you only see the red lenses BUT even at night you can still tell they're black

I bought my Evo 8 from San Rafael Mitsubishi too. That is the only dealership that I have been too that has their own Dyno and tuner.

Good job on the tails but I like how you're holding up the lens and you can very clearly see a Coors Light case.

Thanks guys. I didnt paint the ambers because i dont really like that look.. I do, however, like the location of the JDM Headlight Ambers.. If there's a way to switch them when i paint the housings black i think i might do that.
