What color is the tail light bulb housing?

Postby Bilko » 24 Jan 2006 23:09

I'm restoring the tail lights on my car and can't find any pictures of the bulb housing unit. I'm trying to find out how they are finished as you look into the trunk. Mine have been painted a matt black, but is this correct?

I think they were just natural with no paint?

I cleaned mine up real well and painted them with a light coat of Eastwood's Spray Gray, which kept the bare metallic look but gave them a fresh appearance.
Hope that helps!

dave-r's right. Natural, no paint.
