Default 96 ek tail lights. custom?

looking for 96 ek tail lights that are solid red. no amber signal, no clear backup lights. i've seen these on only one other ek and cannot find them online, so i'm thinking it may have been a custom job. anyone seen this before? know where to find them?

probably clears that were spray painted with translucent red paint. You can pick it up at most hobby stores. They usually have amber, black and other colors too.

Or you can just paint your stock tails.

I know this is for the 5th gen civic,but the process and idea is the same.

It's vinyl but it works, and at least you can take it off if you dont like it later.

nah. i saw a green 96 4dr near gwinnet mall. it was so beatufil, IMO. it was like looking at all the things i wanted to do to my green 4dr ek.(except for the mirrors) even more suprising was that a woman was driving that sucker. a rare sight indeed for me. i wonder if they frequent h-t? i could always use more advice on my make/model.
