Sounds like you want clear tail lights, like said go to the section mentioned. Often what I see people doing to the lights is applying tint to darken them.

I believe removing the red was possible with the LT1 tails, but I don't think you can with the LS1 honeycombs.

Use caution when it comes to custom tails... You don't want to end up with the anti-cool...

If you want to be different with something as "cool" as clear tail lights, put a set of 93-97 V6 firebird tail lights on it. Just as "cool" and "unique."

psssst.... leave the stock ones alone.

You can't quote pictures from your c drive. You have to upload them to a photo site first like photobucket, or such.

your post looks like a blank post to the rest of us.

I came across this pic not too long ago on google. I had to save it cause it looked so sick! I say it looks pretty sweet, but you cant rock blue as a red stopping light.
