Smoked taillight help...
I don't think I would ever do my heads but I need advice on smoking my tails...
I was thinking to just but the plastic covers off of ebay for $50. But then I would be stuck with the 3rd brake light being the stock red. Can anybody find a plastic cover online for sale for the 3rd brake light? Thinking this would be my best choice...
I also have seen people paint their tails but I'm thinking the prep work and painting would have to be perfect in order to look good. I've seen some pretty terrible looking paint jobs on tails around here....
If anyone has pics of smoked tails on F150's, especially flaresides, it would be nice to get an idea.
So buy the covers (someone find a 3rd brake light cover!), or paint myself? As well as pics.
Thanks!!!

I had the plastic shades, didn't like them. Then I took them off then took some VHT Niteshade and then painted my taillights. This looked good and I would've left it but I screwed them up when I went to put clear coat on them which you don't have to but it doesn't hurt if you did put some one their. I liked the look of just painting them with VHT Niteshade, but then I opted out and got Lightning Taillights.
