Default Honey Comb Tailight question...

Can the lens of the tail light physically be separated from the honeycomb template in the tail lights? The reason I ask is if I get my car painted a different blue I'd like to paint the black honeycomb template the same color as the car, and then reassemble the tail lights for a monochromic look. Thanks.

Nope, the lens is one piece, the black appears to be just paint. But, some careful masking off of the red hexagons might be pretty cool!

That's a good idea. I've had the idea of removing the current template and fabricating a different design and putting it in. I found out that you can't do that though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

*hint* someone should make a new lens housing with different designs. And make the hole that holds the smaller bulb bigger to accept a bigger bulb and holder. *hint* <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
