the 01-03 headlights are shaped completely different, so no there are none that will make it look like the shape of an 04-05. you would need to completely do a front end conversion including your fenders, hood, bumper, grill, headlights, and bracketing underneath just to change to the 04-05 style.
its not illegal at all. the stock style (like you have) is a regular bright bulb under an orange plastic lens so it flashes orange. if you clear it out, you will not be able to use your old bulb, so as long as you get an amber (orange) bulb for it, you are completely street legal. if you try to use your old bulb, it will look too bright and distracting (almost like how someone with a broken tail light in front of you looks).
as you can see by the little picture under my name, i have white led bulbs for my signal and parking lights, so i am not 'legal' but ive never had a problem with cops for it. i hate the colour amber.

thanks for the info,
also think if I buy the 04 sedan tail lights it would fit the 01? they look a little different/better but pretty much the same shape an all
yeah 01-02 and 03-05 sedan tails are exactly the same, even uses all the same bulb types. they all use 7443 brake, 168 park, 7440 for signal and reverse. when you remove the bumper to get that stupid bracket off, just leave it off so next time you can pull the lights off without removing bumper.

I'm painting my headlights black and clearing them tomorrow, what kind of amber bulb is it that I need? I just want to make sure I can get it before starting this project as I need my car on monday
i seen them on the shelf of autovalue and partsource both today. i had to go into both to pick up a 7440 bulb (trying to find a set of red ones) and they had 7443 in blue, amber, and clear. but 7440 in only amber and clear. no red

check the ebay seller i mentioned. they have red 7440 and all his bulb are natural glass, will never fade away or flake. its a nice dark red coating too so the light looks good.
oh nice, thanks man. ive been searching ebay for any 7440 red bulb that is NOT led. for some reason i want a regular bulb in that spot rather than leds, which i love. anyway everytime ive searched, there are only two sets that came up, both were around 30$ for the bulbs + shipping in total.
these ones are only 9$ in total.
i guess maybe its because they are in their ebay store, and when you search on ebay it doesnt include stuff in peoples stores. anyway, i went with these ones instead for only 3 bucks more so it came to only 12$ total.
