Could you post up some pics of what to expect on the reconnection of the lens to the housing? Just curious how this will look and how it will hold up. What about climate testing? I'm sure there are plenty of chambers near you to see how we'll the process holds up over time and various climates. etc...

Could a custom order be made to get the Ricky brake effect and instead of blacking out the insides to go with a "reddish" color? I basically wanted the turn signals "silver" area to match the rest of the tail light.

Awesome work on this mod!

yep! i actually want to try turning the silver section alpine white for someone who has a white car and doing a quick test fit to see if it will look as sick as i think i would....


we can do anything from a custom standpoint to be honest

all i can say is for the method that i have developed, the tails will be sealed in a manner similar to how headlights are sealed and waterproofed during Orion installs. just as with Orion installs, if done properly there will be no issues w/ climate or leaking...of course if people have an issue i stand by my work

Ok, sorry but I'm not familiar with the method or the Orion method. I'm very interested just don't want to get them back looking like wonton soup or chicken fried rice was used to get them sealed back up. Perhaps you can send a pc privately if you don't want to post. how long is your work covered for leaking or fogging etc?
