Default red clears --> red ambers

i was wondering if anyone has ever taken redand clear tail lights and painted the top section amber, so instead of having the reflector in the center like the stock one, its entirely amber. if so, any pics??

I follow, but why not just paint the clear (reverse light lens, not reflector) on your stock tails?

yeah... i follow you now, i was thinking your brake lights... not your reverse lights..... uh... well... if you candy coat them all orange.... then your reverse lights will glow orange.. which is illegal if a cop sees you.... so.... if your going for amber all the way across from your brake lights to the reverse lights.... that would work.....
