Do you realize that the whole light is a fully enclosed assembly? You can't just take the red piece off and have both sides to shoot. What everyone is saying is that you open the trunk and pull back the carpet a little. Undo 3 little wing-nuts and the whole tail light assembly basically falls off the car.
Then you have access to the brake light bulbs and such. It's much easier to tape off that way, you just use one piece of tape basically and go around the perimeter of the red.
The reverse lights are the same. 2 Torx screws, and the whole assembly falls off the car. Unscrew the bulb and you just cover that small hole and paint.

My friend simply taped off the light's as u can see in the 1st pix. I checked and doubled check and he did a great job and he is actually the one guy A LOT of people go to on this texas forum. To get their stuff blacked out from tail's,parking light's and even inside the car such as that panel on my car that looks carbon fiber but is really just like a sticker that is now starting to peel in small spots.

^Exactly...
And not just that but who says, because the lenses are removed from the car to make it easier to paint that you have to paint both sides?? Why? Just paint one side... IDK. lol

i dont see why you guys care so much why he didnt remove the lights. it looks nice end of story. i personally thought he didnt remove them so he could hit the lights and see if he wanted to go darker. either way it doesnt matter the lights are painted already and they came out how he wanted.

Everyone has their own lil style or flare to themselves and their car's if they LOVE car's,like I do. So what one person like's someone else may not like. I honestly didn't care if the light's were going to be taking off or not. I got a hell of a deal and life time warranty and it was done in less than 30 min.
