T/A reverse lights... I sanded and polished my center piece today. While me and my dad was lookin at it and thought about painting to INSIDE of the reverse lights... kinda like the whistler mod. Has anyone done this?
No sense in doing that mod , its very hard to work these taillights, these are not like the LT1 lights that were formed by 3 layers. The 98-up bird taillights are only 2 layers, the reflector and the lenses, very hard to separate them.

he is saying the REVERSE LIGHTS only....small round and clear.
Yes, but to get to it, you would have to remove the entire outer lens of the tail light. That's what he is trying to say.
It could easily be done by just getting a heat gun/blowdryer to heat up the silicone holding the lens to the housing, then just use a large flathead to pry the lens off. I've done it several times. Once you get the lens off, tape up the area you don't want painted and have at it. Let dry for a while, reapply silicone, and let that sit overnight, at least, to fully cure.
