But I honestly think that you should just red out your tail lights, it will only cost you a few dollars and looks great...and spend that money you would have spent on the tail lights and put it towards a different mod on your car...thats just what I would do

As for what princess said yes it is totally possible. Some people have had bad experiences with aftermarket lights and them not fitting flush on the back.

Smoke out or red out looks great on stock tails, its not a bad option.

Most people order the v9 rtedout kit, then add the v14 smoke kit over it. The red Celi in the pics have the v9 and v14 kit. It's all about personal preference . The v14 kit is $28 shipped .
