Since the rear tail lights can not be changed to match. The clear side markers are a "down grade". They do not look right on cars with darker paint.
I 'll stick with the correct amber color.

Tony has posted the basic priciples to make them all red, but to get the same look as Nicole's you can either use window tint material or for a more permanent "fix" Testor's also sells a "window tint" spray just like the Translucent Candy Apple Red. Just mask and spray!
HTH!

Yes, I used window tint, because I felt it would be more even than any spray I can apply myself. It has held up very nicely throughout this year. However, there is one downside: In order to get the tint on without bubbles, you have to shave off all the lettering from the amber part of the light. That made me cringe... but I did it anyway, since both light assemblies had small blemishes already. So I was not destroying a perfect Porsche lens...

i was hoping that someone made them. Where do you get the red window tint?
Hey..Nicole...how about making some all red taillight lenses...I bet you could sell hundreds of them, maybe even at $100 - $150 each a pop, plus a bunch of clear side marker lights to go with them.

Bob-
The red AFIK is only do-able with the Testor's spray paint, but it's really easy to do. I've heard that some of the tuner kids are doing this now. We're such trend setters!

The Testors paint for this is Candy apple red. 5-6 VERY THIN coats after you've thoroughly cleaned the yellow part of the lens, and carefully masked the clear back up area and the current red area and you'll be set. It isn't a PERFECT match, but looks better (in my opinion), than the red/yellow combination.
