That nice luster comes from different patterned plastic that is inside of the new tail lights. If you have money, you can go have buy some tail lights for a 2000-2001 ($300 a piece) and then go have them custom fit to your older model... (I estimate $500) Otherwise clearing is the best you can do. Look at the photo of some cleared tail lights in the other thread
