Best way to make tail lights all red
How do I go about making my tail lights all red from top to bottom?

Would the lense film I see everywhere online be my best solution? I'm worried that the clear part will be lighter red than the other parts though, so should I double up on the film for the clear parts only? Kind of new to this stuff so advice would be great.

First, check your local laws about the absence of a true reverse light. Second, clear red colored vinyl would be the best and easiest way to do it. You can cut out a smaller piece to put over the reverse light first, and then cover the entire light to make it darker.

I did it with laminx red overlays. It was fine, but the reverse light was pretty useless. I ended up cutting the reverse light out so now just the turn signal is red, and I went with red LED bulbs and a brighter LED reverse light. I really do like it, changes up the look of the car.
