Add two pics of headlights incase you wanted to know about painting your headlights also.

in this thread you can find how to remove the tails

This. Just go to a body shop and let them know exactly what color you want and they should be able to get it to that shade using the appropriate amount of black paint and clear. That's what I did.

How much did it cost you to do that at the body shop?
