These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I do this with almost every car I own... After looking at all the taillight options out there i decided to just modify my own ones and put that money to more useful things... I will mount them shortly and put up some shots..

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Mounted, and happy with the results.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! I'm pretty happy, looks newer yet still age appropriate.

POST 6Original post

A touch of nightshade wouldn't look bad on your car, with all the other black - but either way, they came out nice.

POST 8Original post

Don't you lose reverse lights when you do to this? Your white reverse light will now also be red...

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When I have done this in the past the light is usually super lighter/white through the tint. Even the turn signals still look Amber when activated. I also do it slightly thinner over the reverse lense

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I decided to strip the red off the reverse lights, my wife thought they looked too pink. Lights still look good imho

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Visual.. Still looks good to me.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Forgot to post this one... I tinted the reverse lights a little.

POST 13Original post

And changed/painted the wheels - looks really nice!!

POST 14Original post

what type of tint did you use? any special prep work? the amber tail lights are the only thing that bug me about my 996.

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 13909087

i used testors red tail light paint. It will wear off if you don't clear coat it. But it does a great job and isn't permanent if you don't want it to be..

POST 16Original post

Solid red tail lights were a factory option for the 997. I had them on my car, and I thought they looked great.
