Default Is it possible to change the rear tail lamps to make them like the new ones?

I have a 99 and I hate the way the tail lamps look at night because the way the red light is compared to the newer ones, it just looks cheaper and lighter. is there anyway to make it the fuller, darker brighter red like the new ones if you know what im saying. Or is it also possible to change the tail lamps to the newer one? how much would each one be? thanks everyone

Check ebay. just type in lexus gs tail lights and you will get a wide variety of aftermarket tail lights to choose from!

What about spraying them with red tint spray? Or putting a red tint film over the tails?

could be done but it'd be more trouble than for what it's worth. i got LED tails from luxury mods last summer and they're still looking great.

I think about the only thing good to do with the old taillights is smoke tint them out (this depends on car color) or swap them out with those such as ebay's LEDs or newer model. I wouldnt even bother trying to make them look brighter or a deeper red. Its to cheap to upgrade.
