OK so the turn signal is bright, but is it also an LED bulb? It doesnt look like it is in that pic. My concern is this...

I just spray tinted my OEM tails, it came out way too dark and I had a mishap with clearcoat. I was going to just replace the stock bulbs with LED bulbs but after my search and a bunch of your previous threads it looks like that is not going to happen. So if I cant strip everything off and respray Im going to buy the black LED tails, and spray just one or two coats of tint on them. I just want to be sure that everything will show through bright enough. I think with one coat I should be fine, and with the black housing will still look pretty much blacked out.

Not sure what to do at this point...

Hey DJ, if you end up doing that, be sure to put up a pic or two, that is exactly what I was thinking of doing
