Red flashers taillights

[metal_til_deth]

Hey guys! I wanted to know where can I find taillights with red flashers on it cause mine are amber and I don't really like 'em... Any price/deal/website would be really appreciate!

Thanks a lot!

People just paint them,

Use Testers Candy Apple Red (it's a clear red) Then use a good automotive clear coat. Do not use the Testors clear coat, it does not hold up to the weather. And if you want tape off the backup light only. That way you don't have a tape line between the reds plus you can spray the rest of the red onto the light so it all will match.

I've got a set of late model, all-red taillamps in decent shape. PM for some pics and a reasonable price.

He has his e30 in his profile listed as a 1987. So those late models will not work.

Here's mine painted,

Why wouldn't they work?

[JasonC]

Late models are 88+. They have a totaly different tail light.

late models have bigger tail lights

Doh. Didn't even notice your car was an '87. Oh well, good luck anyways.

Thanks a lot one21two I'll have to try this! But I got one more question about this, do you clear all the taillight or only the sprayed area?

Guess it would be up to you. I havent done the mod myself but I would think to spray the whole tail light with clear so that it will gloss evenly. Just my opinion. Anyone whos done this before wanna chime in?

I was thinking the same thing but I' wondering if I wont just spray everything with the red (except backup light) so the "texture" as stated in the DIY would be the same everywhere... I'll see if I get loose time this weekend and if I do it I will post you some pict guys!
