I like what you've done to leave the clear area un-smoked

the new tail lights are better looking when tinted and leave the reverse over the older tails w/ the box reverse light

I had my taillights done at Aerotect here in LA.

www.aerotect.net/Auto.html

Been running them for almost 4 years here in Southern California. No problems.

If you dont live in LA. Aerotect sells them as a precut kit for your car.
