| you can take the lens off the 08's and put it on the earlier tail lights. not sure how it would look, but that is your best bet |

Someone should do this, just so we can see how it looks. "DsTC"
It sounds like a good idea. :question: But what do I know? |

uhh. the '07 and earlier models have white light bulbs...
all the red color comes from the outside lens... including the reflector (it's clear on the inside)
aka... you change that out to clear.. you'll be pulled over faster than michael phelps swimming a leg for the 4x100 relay..
you want a clear lens? get the '08 tails. |

and completely pointless...
Why take the RED lens off to just paint the reflector RED and put a clear lens on? |
