Default JDM style tail lights

Well as i didn't like the orange and white on the taillights compared to the smoked look of the JDM foresters tail lights.

So I got some tint spray....gave the reverse strip a very light tint for the smoked look, and gave the indicator strip a dark tint to cover up the orange


So anyway.....here be the results:


will try to get photos of them on the car next time its home in the daylight
