With all of the legal issues that I have had in the past I will NEVER "smoke" another taillight on anything I drive but I did want to change up the look of my lights so I tried something different. First of all I hated the way the taillights on the KJ were half circles (half red and half clear or amber) also my reverse lights are completely useless as my windows are so dark (I am installing some roof mounted reverse lights next week)

So I decided to buy some red "nite shades" and spray my entire light to give it a more uniform, clean look. I was worried that I would have to buy some newer lights that had clear turnsignals but the spray covered the amber lenses perfectly and there was no need.

I really like the way they turned out!

yes that was the Jeep logo during the AMC years. That particular emblem came off of a 70's Wagoneer

Looks good man. Are you going to get those screw holes filled in from the spare tire?

probably not, they don't bother me being there and I may decide to put the spare back on one day.

My CHMSL was faded really bad so i took it off and "refreshed" it today: I also lost the ORT decal as it wasn't really visible anyway.
