Here is a picture of cwally's tail lights and here is a picture of mine. Is there any way to make them look similar at all? I don't really like the way they look all red...is there some way to paint it or anything? Thanks!

Well if you look closely to Cwally's SE lights, you can see they have that Carbon Fiber look in there. You can only do two things, either paint them black or paint them body color. You could have to mask off the "oval" which includes your brake and signal light light the SE and mask off the reverse light. Key to masking it out is making the oval PERFECTLY cut.

Some members have already done this and some have even painted them body color to match the car and they look pretty good in my opinion.

Another thing to think about is since you have a white car, the 2k2 tails looks very good on white cars.

yup
go buy some SE lights or get the new 02 lights from the dealkers. thats the easiest way to get the look without messing with the lights. if you are good with cars and modifying, then you can go custom like bigdonjonx said.

Yeah, I would just go buy the AE or the 2k2s but i was looking for a cheaper way to get a good look. Anyone know how much it would be to get 2k2 or AE lights from the dealer? Or anyone know of some good deals! Thanks!

I ordered my SE tails from Dave Burnett today for about $70 a side. I thought that was fair. Good luck if you go the mod route.
