You are probably better off buying some aftermarket versions. You can find them with LED and in many combinations of dark, red, clear.

eBay

It's a red lens all the way through so you can't sand to get to clear. What color do you want it to be? Red, amber, and clear are the only legal colors you can have.

Pause for a moment and wonder why ALL rear lenses on cars are the same color.

As 03LXV6 stated, red, amber, and clear are the only legal colors you can have. I did play with the idea of using a yellow LED to create amber light.

you can have black, depending on your local regulations as long as the red light tail and brake lights can be seen from a certain distance.. New York i believe is 500ft in normal daylight. check your local regualtions. you can have a green lens if you want as long as your actual light comes out the correct color and brightness.

If you get rear ended, all the person that hit you has to say is you altered your brake lights and BINGO, you pay for everything!

High risk to think you look cool.

they can say all they want. however all that matters is going to be if you are breaking the law or not to determine who is paying for what. if your law is red light visible from 500ft in normal daylight just do not break the law.
