There are several sites out there for this. What you are looking for are tail light overlays. They are usually vinyl, and go on top of the lenses with some heat from a heat gun.

The other way of doing this is by painting the inside of the lens... Which is permanent and more expensive.

Google tail light overlays and you will be fine!

Vinyl overlays are a good route to take. There are quite a few choices out there. They're basically the same stuff that's used for headlight overlays and clearbras. It has a couple advantages over painting the lens: first, you can undo it later if you want; second, it's much easier. They also help protect the

Most of the ones I've seen are entirely smoked with a clear circle for the reverse lights. Looks really good, especially on a black car.

cool your engines bro. this is the best qualit you can get. Lamin-x. it is costly but good. i had it on everything. easy to put on and looks amazing. here's the link to your taillight kit and below are some pics of my (old) car with it installed. in the pics i had the tails and bumper lights covered with either charcoal and the fogs with yellow. the pic at the bottom is the only pic i have after i put the clear protection on the headlights and charcoal on corners.

Quality and the guy is cool as hell. Many people have them and say they are some of the best quality overlays money can buy.

If you want to go with a full replacement tail instead of overlays this this is the ONLY way to go. I helped design these and IPCW is making them. You can get them here for the best price anywhere (he's the guy who took the idea to IPCW)

They also come in red, smoke and chrome. I have pics of all on most color 6th gens, what color do you have?

Yes, but you'll have to change all 4 segments or they won't match up.

if you have access to a body shop or anything of the sort you could just do what i did and have them painted then convert them to led lights,all they do is mix the clear coat with black base coat and spray it ,so it comes out clear but its a tinted clear,thats just a suggestion i did it myself and im very pleased

IIRC you will also need to swap the trunk and rear bumper to 97-99 to make it work.

*edit* It looks like the outers will fit without modification, the inners will need the trunk swapped, and im not 100% about the bumper.
