I'm going to candy mine since I have a white truck, but if I had a black truck I would tint them untill I got a fix it ticket, then I would start over and candy them. =P

Are there any laws on tinting your taillights? I mean if you can still see the lights, i dont see what they can do.

When you candy the stock tailights, you are putting a candy apple red paint over the tailights. The only thing is that you have to watch out and tape off the white/clear part of the tailight which is the backup light which you can't cover by law. So basically the red turns into a candy red and the amber turns into a candy red and the white/clear stays the same.

I don't know the exact process, but someone here probably has a link to a tutorial type thing, It's candy then clear a few times with a wetsand somwhere in there I believe aswell...
I haven't done it yet but I have read a bunch about it. And, yes, The candy should look the same over the red and amber both, I believe it depends on the type of candy red (I have read that Testors Candy Red is the best) and I have seen some nice results...
