    This must be for clear tailights only?
    Do you cut the tailights to open them?
    Any warranty for leaking?

    yes, only works on clear lights. they aren't glued like a headlight, they have to be cut open with a dremel. i stand behind all my workmanship but also have never had an issue with them leaking what so ever on any that I've built. takes a extra two seconds to double check the edge and make sure it doesn't have any pin holes in it to leak from.

    worse thing that could happen is the post gets deleted:oldglory:

    i don't have a picture/video saved anywhere i can find, but i have had the question asked before and i simply put a stock light in on side of my truck and a painted in the other (white and black) and flipped off the lights and honestly in a picture you couldn't tell what one was which, though my eyes i could see the smallest difference in light output, absolutly minor though.

    I can vouch for this guy! He did my tails few months ago. Took thru light car washes and puddles. No condensation what so ever. Super clean job. I can send close up pics if y'all want some. He used my oem lights so it lit up the exact same

    Edit: paint job was solid and still nice. Got condensation in it two months later after another normal car wash when it was hot and noticed it fogging up. Texted him three times no response. But he left his iMessage read receipt on and he read it...but still can get a text back like a guy in the friend zone.... Oh well lesson learned haha

    Super interested in the ones you have in the picture with the truck with the icon sticker. Quick question though, are these just plug and play? I have the original tail lights in. What would I have to do to install these?

    Don't get me wrong. Guy does good work when it comes to painting but don't expect to get any warranty or responses from him if something goes wrong... And no I never submerged my truck before. I have a raggedy jeep for that
