Plastidip isn't really great to use on the taillights... kills the visibility of the tails. I would do it "right" with vinyl overlay or proper tint paint.
Of course, the whole setup looks good. (It looks like my old FX, lol)

time for a drop!
 
Thanks.... The headlights are 10000k the fogs are 3000k but look different in the pic because of the lighting...
Wow. Very nice. What's your headlights spec? 8000k I assume?

It all depends on how many coats used.. I used two coats of black and two coats of clear and the lights can be seen just fine. you're right though the vinyl is a better option maybe I'll switch over to that in the near future, thanks.

Looks sweet! I've used plastidip but never liked how dirty they got, so, I no longer use it. Although, all the colors out now are pretty temping...
 
I would go w/ vinyl or real spray tint sooner rather than later. The matte taillight looks off and it looks weird with the black hatch trim. Plus matte taillights are much more obvious to cops. And visibility is greatly reduced, in bright sun I doubt you can see them fine. Mine are smoked (painted by shop) and I can still see the individual led's through the tint. You can't see any of your lights. And even though mine is smoked much less than yours, when compared to an OEM taillight, mine are not as bright.
