Well you see VLHERO, I got Calais Tailights and a Boot Strip that is all black, so can you picture it? I wasn't trying to make the lights look Berlina I was jus wondering how much duller the White Stripes on the Calais Light would go if I tinted them That’s why mate. Still want them looking Calay.. Just to blend with the strip better. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I also have Calais lights and a black boot strip and to me its the contrast that sets it off! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
