Additional tail/brake light

[Stormryder]

Hi Guys, I am trying to make a tail/brake light between the saddlebags at the bottom of the fender. I removed the lense and used a plastic safe paint remover to remove the paint on the inside of that lense. I took the plastic socket housing and painted the inside chrome or better reflection. My problem is, after removing the paint from the inside of the lense no light gets through it yet. Is it also painted on the outside? The inside is now clean of paint and looks as red as any tail light. Any ideas please?? Thank you.

My lens was painted on both sides. Not sure if all years painted were painted on 2 sides or if some were just 1 but mine was both. Shine a flash light through it to test light transfer/pass through.

I have a lens that is cleaned off ready to go, If you are interested let me know.
