Good luck with that,

what about a small diameter red tail light being installed inside the vette one & made to fit behind
the clear corvette lens?
for a look you have the clear with a translucent/red tone behind it, then when it lights, it should be a typical enough glow?

What I am trying to eliminate are 2 problems. 1st is just what your eyes see, I don't want to see any color behind the lens. I want it to be clear, if I use a standard red bulb, that will likely be seen even with all lights off. My second and most important issue is SAFETY. LEDs tend to bleed out and don't appear as bright as a standard bulb in sunlight, this is going to drive me nuts finding the answer. That said, I will come up with a SAFE solution.

Definitely nice look !
Altho try this on, if you half-mirror (see thru mirror ) some flush mounts,
then your color/tonal variations are even more subtle and elegant.
... but do pump up the number of red leds or some ricer will back end u

Tried the red sleeve (goes over standard bulb) today. That works very well, even in sunlight. I'm going to try a real RED bulb tomorrow and see how that works, before I try the full RED LED...
