I want to make my tail lights diamond cut but need to now where to buy this stuff? Does it exists in sheets? Today I installed red clear tail lights on my 95 and mastered the art of removing the covers on my oem and APC peices, I think I could easaly make dimond cut tails if the sheets exist. Any help whould be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I think it's just covers for fluorescent lights...you should be able to get it at home depot or lowes. SprintMax would be able to answe better than I, as he is the master.

What Lime Said I got mine at Home Depot, but most major hardware stores should have it in the lighting section. Cutting it is a b*tch though! Good luck.

use a dremel! Copy the pattern onto the plastic with a marker or something and then use onna those circular cutter bits on the dremel.

Heat the plastic a little before cutting too. It'll prevent the plastic from cracking are you cut. Also, you can heat the plastic to bend in order to fit the housing better. I'm going to redo mine once I can find some better plastic material. My flourecent light covers I bought at Home Depot look a bit grey in comparision to the reverse light.
