B&BTLM Black and blue taillight modification

Yo folks. Yanked these apart today. Gonna try a black and blue modification on some stocks. I was going to just do black and keep the reverse area chrome, but my blue tape pulled off the super thin chrome.
So now I’m going to go for a color match in that spot. I’ll update tomorrow!!

 

If this works out for you I'm totally attempting it.

 

Went this route. Needed reflection for the leds.

 

Painting over that chrome is going to cause a significant loss of light output...even with going to leds. Definitely don't use halogen bulbs now due to heat buildup.

 

Yep. I don’t know what I was thinking painting them black. I repainted them as close to chrome as I could in my last post. I have all led bulbs.

 

Looks good. Cannot wait to see them on your truck.

 

Thanks! I haven’t put them on the truck yet. These are dry fitted for the picture. Waiting for the paint to gas off before reassembling.

 

They’re up!

 

Well, it looks nice but how’s the light output

 

Same as stock
