Mine are wrapped, but we forgot to disconnect the bulbs prior to wrapping them and now the lights shine through the wrap at night which I must admit looks kind of cool.

The sliver of light is kinda cool, but I still coded mine out. I believe you'll have a check bulb error without it plugged in.
ind sells painted ones, OEM core.

Don't stop there! Blacking out the rear tail lights is another way to give the car a clean look. I don't understand why today's cars have all these so-called "safety" devices.

Dont have the side indicator/reflector things on uk cars or euro cars either i think. Funny really that you have them in the US when your roads are so long and straight compared to here!

Have you ever driven in the US, mate? American drivers generally have no idea what they are doing.
