The part you need is from 01-05 GS. They fixed the fading issue!

So I should just get OEM ones from the 01-05 models?

Yessir! Unless you want to replace both inners and outers with aftermarket. Depo brand is the usual suspect =)

You could also use VHT Nite Shades of equivilent in red, and paint it yourself. I did my outers in them, and they came up pretty well imo

I just added a vinyl tint to mine. I bought the tint off Ebay and did the work myself. It really is a simple job. The link is for the 12in x 12in, but all you need is 6in x 12in for both lights. This will give you the chance to redo it either down the road or if you screw it up the first time around.

It shines red and isn't noticeable at all unless you get right up to it. Mine had minor surface scratches (but for a few dollars that's what I expected). It's only been two months since I've had it on so no comment on long term durability yet.

If you want a larger cut, you can get it from their website and enter FANATIC for a 10% discount. They sent that coupon with my purchase and said I can share it.
