The first photo shows the blinker section blacked out with a solid piece. For a second, I thought you were doin some stealthy blinking tail light mod....but then the other pics, there is a clear lense in there....
ahh see that was before it was all sealed up so i used a spare lens to mask off the reflector part then i replaced it with a clear one..although it did look pretty niceee

it would be awesome if you put a DIY: thread
well it was a slow process since it was my first one..and i practiced my cuts on the red tail lights although i didnt have to...est time was about 4+hours just for one light..this next one should only take about max 2 hours since i know what i'm doing now

Those came out really well. Now you just need to loose the rear side markers. I know $100 is a lot for you to be pissing away right now, but maybe you can find some Type-S ones in the BM.

You can not de-red the sidemarkers. Your options are to tint with spray, tint with film, or replace with Type-S rear sidemarkers.

i was talking about the rear lights not the side markers... but does that still make no difference? im guessing it doesnt...

well imma give it a try once i get my car back from the body shop and if it doesnt work, are you willing to trade my 04-06 rear lights for your custom ones and i will pay extra ends?
