as soon as it drys im throwing it on, and lets hope it does shine the same, i think it still will be a little darker just cuz of the two diff reflective material but it should look a lot better

I think it turned out well, you can see in person it doesnt shine quite as bright but close enough, also the light did get deformed just a bit but you wouldnt notice unless i told you, other than that im pleased with the way it turned out.
What do you guys think?
and i know i have a light out on my spoiler lol

wow. i've been trying to figure out why mine was darker. my car came with a crack in the tail light. i took it out and found holes in the bottom, couldn't figure out why it was darker though. this was extremely helpful.

I have mine clamped together right now but I forgot to get pics of the process.
I also broke the inside of the bottom lip since I didn't have it hot enough. I was working on it too long and the glue started to harden. We'll see how it turns out. I used Dupli-color Chrome paint for the inside finish and I think it turned out alright. I'll try and get pics of it when it's back on the car.

It turned out fair. It was still a little darker than the other one. So I just went ahead sprayed them both with vht nite shades. The reverse light is visually darker than the stock one, but when the light's on, they are of equal intensity.

Thanks. I only put two on. It looked pretty reflective after the first coat so I stopped at two.
Just for refernce, this is what it looked like before.
