Rep Power: 308 There was a thread where a guy painted his stock tail lights but you'll have to search for it.
Or you can take the easy, yet too common way out, of getting altezzas [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] IMO

You can smoke them, paint them, clear them. But in the end, there is still that Horseshoe shape. I recently switched back to my Stock Taillights (just got bored with the TYC's) and I'm planning on cracking open my old APC Altezza's, and painting them black like RIder did to his. We'll have to wait and see though.

Rep Power: 0 you can swap the signal bulb into the brake housing (gotta cut off some plastic for the bulb to fit) and then put the brake lights into the signal housing... problem solved (except when you signal[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I have seen this happen and it looks pretty neat.
It's weak when you turn on your lights and when you signal but it's different.
