Default new idea for taillights...

had anyone ever tried making their stock taillights look like these here? i think that kinda clear/smoked look would look awesome on an fboy, let alone a silver one like mine. anyone know how to go about getting this effect, or know of any place that could possibly make these?

Would be cool to have more options on camaro taillights, since the only affordable ones are the ugly *** Altezza lights. Personally, spending $300-400 on the rare import lights isnt my idea of a good investment.

how could we go about getting someone to produce these lights and sell them? i think theyd be pretty popular and dont see why anyone would turn down and oppurtuinty to make them and make some $.

Probably the same reason nobody bothered producing the import lights, even though they would be flooded by buyers if they did. Strange to say the least.

That is not true AFAIK. The LIGHT coming out of them has to be red. Red bulbs = win.

Youre right, but things like that rarely get enforced. Which is why so many of us have clear corners or blackouts.
