Does anyone have any pictures of what these look like with the newer style taillights (03+)?

I've looked on all the major manufacturers sites, and can't seem to find anything, so I was hoping maybe someone here might have gotten some or know where I can see what they look like.

did you check with jcwhitney on line they might, dont know forsure. You could have yours tinted "blacked out" by a paint shop for a little money as well.

Yeah, I checked JCWhitney, no go there.

What do you mean have the painter "tint" them? Paint them? Or is there something else they can do?

Beware, in most states it is illegal, I live in Montana where everything is legal and still got stopped and was required to remove my blackouts from my tail, park, and head lights all at once or get a ticket. The ones with cut outs are usually okay, but tinted black outs aren't. They look awesome though, I kept mine for show or off road.

I believe they take and scotch brite/sand the tail lights to scuff them up then take and mix a dark color into a clear and spray them, ahve an article on it and seen a show that showed a segment about it, Pete Santini(sp) in Cali was the one that done it, looked really good you can start out light and keep going till the darkness you like, but the bulbs light up bright when the brakes are applied.
