I looked at some pics and like the way the canied tail lights look. I think I'll go that route. Is there a rattle can paint that I can use, or do I need a spray gun? If I can get away with a rattle can, I'll hook it up.

Rattle can: Testors model paint available at wally world. Works well. I have tested a little and looks nice. I have seen some guys that have used that in addition to some model spray tint to smoke to give a really deep red without completely smoking them out.

Look on chevy truck world there is a taho/yukon on there that did the combo I mentioned above....I think.

Okay, so the tail lights I bough ton accident showed up today. They say they are for an 03-05 GMC Yukon. It seems to me like they will bolt right up. They look identical, except the outer part is black instead of red. I like the way they look. Am I crazy, or will they fit?

Cool deal they look great. The only difference between my stockers and these later ones, is the outer rim is black instead of red. it's subtle, but it's a nice touch.
