Fair enough.
Just to let everyone know what I'm ACTUALLY doing: I originally purchased a full set of led tails with clear lenses (yes, the type that look like they belong on the back of a Civic) with the intention of separating them. I separated them, but the lenses cracked and are now worthless. I also have a second full set of OEM tails that I have separated successfully. My original plan was to paint the OEM buckets to match my headlights and then put the clear lenses on them. Obviously I can't do that now because the clear lenses are trashed.
So, my new idea: When I'm done I will have a set of tails that are LED with OEM lenses on them. I'm also tinting the OEM lenses on the inside so that they will maintain a stock glossy finish (without the hassle of having to clear, wetsand, buff, etc) and therefore cannot be scratched or start to wear due to weather conditions. I'm also going to add one other custom detail that will have to be a surprise, assuming I like it enough to keep it.
