Tore apart my 97 tail lights today.. modified them a bit- pics inside :)

[Blk97SC300]

As the title says, I had the urge to take apart my tail lights today. I've always loved the 1997+ tail lights, but a couple things really bothered me about them. First off, I couldn't stand the yellowish colored reverse light box- to me, that looked hideous. Second, I didn't like the orange piece- I always wanted to have it all red, and no orange.

In order to do this, I needed to separate all the pieces of the tail light. Notice the orange plastic piece in the tail light, and the yellowish colored reverse light plastic piece too- those were the main areas of concern. I also decided to leave out the reflector.. it ended up looking much better removed. Also, notice the pink colored tint on the tai light cover. I'm not a big fan of that.. but oh well- I guess I can live with that. Now for the pictures:

Here are some pics of the tail lights taken apart. This is before I modified them in any way.
