Take a good look at the OEM tail light. There is no red insert. The plastic that covers the front is red. Period. I had this idea as well. I wanted a clear triangle on the side and a red bulb, but no go. Unless you cut out the red and replace it with clear plastic or somehting?

I dunno about that... but I do plan on smoking the taillights... I'm not sure how that goes, though.

Grey is right. I also tried to take out that triangle on the side, but the entire taillight lens is made of red plastic except for the reverse light portion. You'll just have to deal with them... unless you want altezzas...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]
