Default Taillights...

Does anyone make a tail light for at the 2gs with a clear blinker, without the LEDs besides JP?

If you want no leds at all on any part of the housing, the only two options are JP or 98-00 with the amber removed. Also with those two options one is the absolute most expensive and the other the absolute most dirt cheap..

Thanks bro but I def don't want the 98 lights and the JP lights are off the hook but like you said the most expensive lights out there. I'm just surprised no other companies decided to make a set...

There are many, many duplicates, but none like the JP tails. I could never spend over $500 on tail lights. Just not worth it in my opinion.

There was talk in a few older threads of taking the red/clear lens off a set of led housings and putting that lens onto a 01+ housing. But I never saw an actual attempt.

This was the other Idea I had but wasnt sure if it worked.... I guess it's worth a shot and if it does work they will pretty much be one off besides the JP lights....

oh,

The blinker section is super tall geeze. At first I was kinda thinking like take the lens off and break out those stupid cups/covers and then candy red the inside of the len real nice and put it back together..

but.. yeah, ok..
