   Hi guys i'm wondering if its possible to colour code LED lights? I know they have either a silver or black plate in them which I guess could be painted?
   
   Would I go down the same route as colour coding headlights?
   
   Any comments or advice welcome
   
   Cheers

   Well with rear lights you can either get them in black or silver? and i'm only assuming that there is a plate/mould in there which is painted chrome/black as to effect of the lights..
   
   I'm just wondering if i can unseal the lights, and paint.. for example, turn the chrome effect lights another colour?
   
   Thanks.

   1 they look tacky
   
   2 yeah dont see why you couldnt paint them think you would have to leave the chrome in the circles chrome though to reflect light
