Thats pretty nice! Good idea on their part!!!

I think my red tail lights look good the way they are IMO... The Torch Red Vette allows the tail lights to blend in!

Looks like a great product though

Those who buy this, let us know how the product holds up during the hot summer.
I'm curious so see if it doesn't bubble up when it's 100 out with high humidity.

Two things to consider:
1) All auto lighting on cars sold in the US is regulated by the Dept of Transportation (DOT) and many states have their own additional regulations. Check very carefully if modyfing your lights like this is LEGAL. If not, it's just one more thing that lets the cops pull you over anytime they want to and you get to pay another "road tax"!

2) The lenses are plastic. I don't know of any "adhesive" that won't degrade plastic, i.e. crazing clouding, cracking, etc.

Forewarned is forearmed!
