I have clear lt1 lenses on my TA. The reason I can get away with it is because the LT style lenses has a reflector strip at the bottom and it is red. Oh and I have a set of LS1 tails I don't use because the reflective material inside is gone. Anyone wants them PM me I will give them away. They have been collecting dust for 3 years now.

I dont think the cops could give you any crap about them not being red. There are SEVERAL cars out now that don't have red lenses (eclipse off the top of my head is one). As long as you put red LED's in them, I think you would be fine. I would DEFINITELY buy a set if anyone gets this figured out. Subscribing!

The problem is your supposed to have a red reflector in the tail light housing or on the back of the car. Clear doesn't mean ****, but you have to have a reflector. Most inspection places wouldn't care or notice, and cops are usually so...uh...dim witted they don't know laws like that.
