How would you guys replicate these rear marker lights?

What's the best way to detail these things so they look as accurate as possible?

I don't know the tail light you are working with.  If it's red clear, wrap it in Bare Metal Foil and then pick up the colors with fine Sharpie Pens.  I used a white paint pen for the back up lights. If the tail light is molded in the chrome bumper, you can skip the BMF step.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about those marker lights on the rear quarter, correct?

Those could be a challenge, but I think I would try just using acrylics.

Paint the louvered part body color & then maybe some silver acrylic for the reflector, followed by some clear acrylic tinted with a little red for the lens.

The reason I would use acrylic paint is obviously because it would be easy to clean any excess from the louvers with some water to avoid damaging the paint.

another option would be to sand out the rear of the marker until it opened up and put clear red behind it.
