Yea you can. i did it with my altezzas. But I tried to make them real dark and now there just black so be careful.

you want a candy paint

yes, this is very easy, there are two ways to go about it.

1. buy a tint paint and paint your lights, then spray a clear coat over it to protect it, or

2. get these, they are super easy to put on and you can't even tell if they are painted or stock.

i would suggest #2, they are dependable plus you don't have that chance of ruining your tails.

good luck

on my 88 hatch i tinted my front bumper signal lights and my third brake light on the wing, i used something called pactra racing finish, its a little can of window tint you can find it in any hobby store where they sell the paints for remote control cars, you can even find it on towerhobbies website. You just make sure the surface is clean and dry and then you aply as many coats as needed.

but remember, you still need to clear coat that sucker, otherwise it will chip!

well at my shop...the professional way of doin this is to get some clear coat for spray guns and add a little bit of black paint till you get the color you want and spray it on the lights....then another clear coat without black....dont add too much black or else it would basically be black paint.......thats how most people like west coast customs and all them big shops do it

There is no clear coat needed with this stuff, my friend did his taillights of a black 2000 integra too and there is no clear coat needed.

ALRIGHT, i'm just saying from experince, because i've used that stuff, and it chipped, maybe not right away, but in time it will. and belive me. again, i'm just saying from long term experience.
