Default Pics of your modded tail lights

Thinking of modding my tail lights, probably just going to turn the amber turn signal red, but wondering what other rennlisters did. Post some pics of your modded tails =)

Very nice, I was thinking about going all red, too, but I already get enough harassment from the cops for looking like I'm 12 and driving a red Porsche.
Have you had any trouble about the red reverse lights?

My vote is for all red (legality issue notwithstanding):

I'd like to see someone fabricate 968 style lights for our cars, all red but they light up the right color somehow..

Or at least have all the lenses be solid on the 944 tailights, not broken up individually?

I was trying to do that a while ago but it means putting a second lens inside the taillight or something and i didnt have the tools or money to do that.

But you're going to turbo an n/a. . .

Dude, you're a nice kid, but you crack me up sometimes. How do you expect to deal with the complexities and cost of a turbo conversion if you (by your own admission) don't have the resources to modify a taillight?



That's the funniest thing I've read today.

Some of those conversions are a little over the top for me, I was just thinking something like this
