Default clear tails?

The solid clear tail lights, are they not being produced anymore? I've seen a couple cars with them, and would like to get a set. I saw them on a website (forgot the site) but it said they were not longer in stock? Just curious if anybody knows of a link or something. I guess I could always put up a wanted ad, but figured I'd ask.

Thanks

Oh, and this is not a wanted ad! (I think) Just asking if they are still made, and where to get them.

I don't think Depo offers them anymore. Here's some links to the current offerings from their website;

http://www.depo.com.tw/asp/pdf/R_LX_IS250_350_LS400.PDF

However, these guys have a listing for them. Maybe they have them in stock;

Yea I saw them a while ago on a blueish colored LS. Didnt really like them on that LS but on a black car they*might look better. I like my RCRs better though. Maybe the all white ones might look better with black transparent vinyl/paint or running full LED conversion behind the clear???

^^ This. I've always wanted a set to do just that, make custom LED boards.

I also feel they'd come out great on a all clear lens if one were to have a candy red and clear coat sprayed on them.

I'm having my car painted a matte black in the next week or so. That was my idea to have the clear lights with a slight tint to them. I think it would be too much without being tinted a bit.

I have searched up and down and can not find them anywhere. I don't think you can get them new anymore. I've checked Ebay and the luxurymods site.

I picture my car looking something like this one, but with the tinted clear tails..... oh, and my fat exhaust tips!

the white ones are the only nice ones.

IF I did get a set, they would be tinted a fairly dark tint. They would look pretty ugly if I just slapped them in there. It was just an idea as of now anyway.

Yes the only way I see them looking decent is with that dark tint, other than that it will look really ugly with that shiny full clear rear against a matte black paint job. And that car looks wierd to me with poking wheels and tiny exhaust tips. Thats why I had to do a full exhaust system myself too a few months back. Plus my car sets off alarms now here and there which is always a plus!
