Painted Tail lights
Painted Tail lights Here are some better pictures of my tail lights that started off like this with condensation in them
next I took them apart just like the headlight mod and the light was in three parts the clear lens the chrome piece and the housing itself. I then sanded the Chrome and painted it NBM the same as the car and put some clear on them.
the chrome piece that I painted did not cover the channel were the clear lense goes so I sanded that down and painted the housing itself here are some final picutres
I did not put the clear lens back on cause it changed the shade of the paint and I cracked one. I know Its not perfect but it is unque I have only heard of a guy with a pewter SS doing the same thing. I also know that some people like it and some hate it and someday I probably will go to stock lights but these are the lights that came on the car so I played around with them.

Good thing you changed the color. Those lights look so "ricey" in chrome. Those actually look kinda good, too bad I'm a fan of the stock lights. Every time I see those style of lights on a Camaro, I think back to the last Darrell Starbird car show. There was a guy in his late 30's with a white Camaro SS with tan initation "guchi" interior(headliner, seats & all), 20" spinners & those lights. It had to be "one" of the most mistreated Camaros' out on the road. They do look better with your improvements.

all you guys puking over the lights have to atleast admit they are better than being chrome and someday I will buy stock lights so dont worry it wont be this way forever
I like it, looks retro and mean. I got bored and took it the next step further. I wondered what it would look like if you shaved the tail lights and installed single stop lamps. You should be the first to try it 
I didnt say my photoshop looked good, just bored.
