its not possible, if you cut out the orange like the one member who tried it did. You will end up with a really nasty looking like that will not be flush with in inner tails. Just pray and hope one day someone will produce these.

Until then,

no one cuts the orange out you have to either buy them did like that or else find yourself some all clears that are not made any longer and paint them with the transperent red paint to look like that. thats why there so rare and cost so much so good luck hunting down a pair if you think there worth a couple hundred id say just make your own customs aka tint, allred w/e

is it possible to take out the entire inner piece (both red and orange)...then cut out a red piece of lighting plastic, and a clear piece of lighting plastic to fit back in there?

similar to the 97-99 clearing out, except I am using an extra red piece for the brake lights? i know it's a pain, but do u think it's doable?

How does everyone else that has a 95-96 do this?

well what i recomend is that you black out the white and orange part, and just leave the red. When i had my 95 black SE, it looked really tite. I just got a 96 SE, and i took it to the same people, but the blacked out the whole thing, which actually isnt that bad, i just gotta get used to it.

if your really set on red/clears then the best way to do it is go to a junk yard and get a 97-99 trunk lid and then get the 97-99 tails

You can red them all out or you can black the top part out.

allclears for 95-96 are discontinued, theyre not MADE anymore . .. but a used set will run you about 250-350 on ebay.
