Default Solid red tail lights?

Can anyone point me in the direction to find some solid red tail lights for a '99 C4?

My car currently has a set of brand "X" smoked tail lights that I'd like to replace.

I've checked several of the usual suppliers with no luck and I don't want to use a film or some type of tint.

Thanks!

I tinted mine red with testors spray. Came out awesome... if you want it to be permanent you need to clear coat over it though.

Just read that you dont want either of the available solutions. They don't make all red for our year car.

You could try the awesome looking 997.2 style dectane LED tail lights.

Those really are awesome looking. Amazing that such a small change can make such a dramatic difference.

There's a quite clean guards red '99 coupe for sale near me that has the original headlights with yellow blinkers and pumpkins on it, which I think really date the car. I've had visions of selling my cab and buying that car and putting these tail lights on, along with updated fronts like these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-98-99-00...BSw7P1&vxp=mtr) and clear side markers.

This is my car. I'm just trying to get rid of the "murdered out" look. The wheels will be gone too.

Solid red tail lights look so much better.

Bottom picture is my '99 Boxster w/ aero kit and solid red 2004 Boxster SE tail lights.

It's a shame I can't find solid red for the 996.
