you wouldn't be able to flex the decal.

if you have paint, then paint what you want that color.

+1 What rabbit said. If you have paint it will be a lot easier and look better. You can flex the vynil with a heat gun but you would end up have to probably cover the whole lense and then trim the bottom how you wanted.

Vynil's nice cuz' you can always take it off later without much work. If it were me, yes I'd use a heat gun...cover the whole turn signal lense with a red vynil and then trim a straight line on the bottom to let some of the light escape.

you will never get an exact match with vinyl, but you will need samples to see how close you can get.

Well, $h!+ if you have paint then just paint it already. Tape off the bottom in a traight line, spray your color, peel the tape, and clear the whole lense.
