Not sure if you can do something like I want but heres a picture of my car that I made the amber lense clear. I was going to do this along time ago but I just havent had time. If you cant make something like this its not a problem, I will just have to get off my *** and do it.

Yeah I figured lets try it, too many of us are busting trying to find just one taillight, and then having to pay enough to buy a new set of headers just to get them. I hope I can get all of this done for everyone!
Thanks

doc2121 ended up finding out that it would cost to much to produce these and that at least 800 sets would need to be sold to just break even on cost. He tried, it just doesn't look possible.
