Default All-red tail lights?

I've tried searching around here and google and all I can find is pics, but I'm looking for the 98-02 style tail lights that have red instead of the amber section. They have the 3 sections in them, all are red. I think the 6LE car has them but they aren't on their website.

Anyone know where I can get these, or if it is just a mod, how to do it? I love the look.

Yep I've got the LT1 tails, but wanted to try out the all red 98-02's and see how they looked on my car. I like the little things that set my car apart from others... just makes it a little more unique

So would you use the red tint on the outside of the light or do you have to pull them apart?

I think "nightshades" makes a red tint that works. I've seen it done before. normally it's black paint that people use to smoke em.

you know tho.. the amber can be useful from a safety standpoint.

just sayin.. people don't always know if it's braking or turning if it's the same color. I'm happy that the car has amber signals.

Maybe you could tint it red, but still use an amber LED bulb or something so it still has that safety color.. or maybe you don't drive in a place like I do and it's not an issue

The red tails on 6LE/Sommer86's car are stock tails with Tamiya Translucent Red paint applied to the amber sections, on the outside.
