What digging is there to do? Everything to know about LS1, LT1, and export lights is all in this thread. And yes, he is a member here.

6LEs are not tinted, they are sprayed red with some hobby store tint paint. Sommer86s are the same way. I believe the color was something like Tamiyaya Red

Congratulations! You managed to repeat what I already said...

Oh, and since when, as you put it, would they NOT be considered tinted since as you put it, "they are sprayed red with some hobby store TINT paint." Which is wrong, but never the less. LIKE I SAID, its CANDY RED TAMIYA paint. Pactra also makes it. Its used for R/C cars when the inside of the lexan body is painted. It IS NOT a "tint paint." It is infact CANDY RED. Its simply translucent like ALL candy colors and is intended to be backed with another color such as gold, silver, white, black, etc. He used that cause it adheres to plastic well. I've used it many times.

Why must people chime in on something when they don't know exactly what there talking about, when somebody who has done it and knows what there talking about ALREADY said it?

I know we spoke before in another post, but if any of your buddies want to trade, or if you have extra set's my offer still stands to trade a set of LT1's and LS1 tailights for a set of the "Export Tails" that you guys hate.

PM me a price if you don't mind. If not it's cool, I understand with everyone else wanting to know the price.

Don't those sell for like $200+ a set in the US?

OP, they're just the export lights painted red. You won't find them that way unless you buy them from someone who has already painted them.

How else do you turn a simple question in a post into a 2+ page thread??

I have a set of these that I'm never going to use (I own a Trans Am now), I'm in Canada. Not sure what they're worth? PM me if interested.

Have tried omarrakeen as a export source before. PMs, posts in threads...still "working for shipping to US".

Personally I love the candy corn....would be a great add-on to my project. Tough to find a credible source to get shipped.

Good luck all...

Prepare to have your inbox flooded. Your best bet to get max dollar would be to mention that your set will be on EBAY in a couple days, and watch the bids roll in. Frankly, i really like the look of them, but have to laugh at folks paying $200+ for them, but due to rarity, i guess it's all up to the buyer.
