Painting the tail lights?

What do YOU think would be a good design for the camry, since it doesn't have a distinct pattern on it?

Here's what I mean, btw:

that's what i was thinking of doing, because just the way the tail lights are built, its so obscure and doesn't warrant a special design, unlike some other taillights that have distinct patterns. is it illegal to red it out..or is it still fine if it lights up amber?

I think bylaw, your tail lights should be all red or all red with a amber signal. Anything else is not road legal.
