Default Opening Tail Lights?!?

Has it ever been done on our cars? I've seen it done on a variety of newer model cars but never our f-bodies. I'm curious how painting the housings black would look as opposed to the usual VHT spray on the lenses.

i dont think it would make much of difference since the outside lenses are colored

The lenses themselves are colored?

lol yeah! The insides are silver to reflect the light from the bulbs. Painting the insides is not a great idea..

Cutting them open with a dremel is really your only option.
