Default Custom rear lights (updated pics)

Just got my pics from my old phone. A few people asked for pics of the work that went into it so I've got them for anyone who wants to see them.

Pic 1: All masked up and ready to spray.
Pic 2: Finally sprayed.
Pic 3: On the car but not laquered or polished yet.

I'd like to see the rear of that beast outside during the day. Can you oblige?

Can do.

Pic 1: Standard rear end.
Pic 2: Modified rear end.
Pic 3: Extra rear/side pic (see the lights better).

Has anyone else attempted anything like this before? I was just going to spray the entire light cluster but I knew the police would give me hassle. My bro persuaded me to do it like they are (I just thought about how much work it would be!) and I'm glad I listened. Looks pretty good for costing £20ish to do.

17, those look great. I was thinking of doing something similar just for a different look than those big stock units. I've had a boo at the conversion tailights, even had them shipped to me, but this seems like a great alternative. Thanks for doing it and sharing.

They look great. That is exactly what I've been planning to do, just haven't got to it yet. I got the idea shortly after buying the Jag and pricing the commercial taillight upgrades. I decided then that what you've done is a lot less expensive and would look just as good.

Thanks for the pics.
