Of course if you fancy being different, then use red spray and keep the reverse light white! :)

scoobygav555,
The spray can be bought from here for £11.99 inc postage (http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/www_speeding_co_uk_Savage_Style_110.html)
The best way to do it is to laquer them because the tint spray wears off after a while and will eventually go dull trust me i know from experiance on other cars..!! You will get a better finish using laquer and it seals the tint spray alot better...
I just did a few coats... I put the hazards on in between coats so i could see if the indicators can be seen ok, just a warning make sure you have some good light to spray them in, because when i sprayed mine i reversed my car out the garage in full light and you could still see the orange..!! I then waited for the tint spray to dry and applied about three coats of laquer..
