completely clear tail lights...
Ive been watching this forum for about a month now, so hopefully I wont sound too much like a newbie on my first post.
Well, I just got a set of all clear tails for my 98 sedan off ebay for $30 which I thought was a pretty good deal; I couldn't find red clears for less than $120 plus shipping. I figure I can paint the bottom red or go with red bulbs of some type. So I thought I'd ask you guys, see what you think. I'm really trying to avoid the being pulled over.
Worst comes to worst, I'll just resell them with *hopefully* a bit of profit to someone that doesn't know better

I already smoked my stock ones, the real reason I ordered the new ones was because before I owned my car somebody must have shoved a finger in a couple of the sockets - its flaking really bad in my inner left reverse and red. I thought smoking out the top would help, and it does during the day, but when I reverse it looks like crap, and you can still see it on the red section at all times.
So anyway, I went to the local dealer and they quoted me at $70 for that one piece, which seemslike a complete rip off. Then I saw these...
