Good morning everyone, i am looking for clear tail lights (altezza / euro ) for my 2000 firebird. most of the altezza / euro tail lights websites, they do not carry this item for this vehicle. i even went to google it with no luck. any suggestions where i can find altezza / clear tail lights for my 2000 firebird?

You wont find em bud. Places dont make them because not many people would buy them. Its hard to find them for domestic cars first but there is alot more camaros running around than firebirds and thats why they are made for the camaros and not the birds.

About the onl taillight options are to leave em alone or nightshade em.

Yes, that is a pair of stock LT1 lights with the red backing removed. I dont belive its possible to do w/ LS1 lights. That is the only way.

Yea those aren't Altezza lights. Altezza lights completely modify the look of the tail lights. They DO make the for Camaros, but lots of idiots like them. CLEAR tail lights does an Altezza tail light not make. There's ways to remove the red as Kev mentioned. I personally would keep them red, and also would drag someone out and beat them with a set of Altezza's for wanting to put them on their F-Body You don't live in Minnesota do you?

On the right car, done well, they look nice. That's speaking for the stock lights.

Altezza takes what looks nice, and adds rice to the mix.

Like I said, they do for Camaros, and I've seen them. It's quite a sad sight.

i see that you have clear tail lights. it looks really good on the car specially silver color like i have. i have mirror tint windows. hid lights and chrome wheels is still in process. the other thing that i want to install would be clear tail lights. where did you get clear tail lights?

its pretty easy.
you just have to use a hot gun and heat the taillights up. the you can open the taillights and remove the red lenses. it tooks about 15-20 minutes to heat each side up. but be carefull you can destroy your headlights.
get an old taillight and test it with this one.

I made them for my car and put blackouts over them because I didnt like how they looked. So i just bought regular LT1 lights. Its pretty easy to do. Theres a write up somewhere how to do it.
