They look like full custom jobbies from some Japanese light place to me, the reverse light white section is completely different to standard. You can sand and polish the Aristo text off some S2 lights (if it's raised above the acrylic), I'm looking out for a rear garnish so I can give it a try.
hmm yeah. i didnt think it would be too easy, but hoping... i see james05 and a few others modify headlights, and thought maybe some thing could be done simply to the tail lights.

yeah looks like it's a standard s2 rear, with the (inside?) of the plastic polished to remove the lines, then painted reddypink in all areas except where the reverse and indicator lights are.
I don't particularly like it, but I reckon there are some cool things that could be done along those lines that may look good. _________________

thanks mate...that is pretty cool too... but how do ya get the colouring off the tail lights? i have no problem removing the tail lights and taking them apart etc, but just the rest im not too sure...
i give u the big tip mate...dont attemp to "bake" these and pull them apart....!!!
they are nothing like doing headlights fella...!!!!!....vey/very hard to do...!!!!(f%#ked 4 sets!!)
back on track...once pulled apart....these have a inner caseing,that simply pulls out once
in 2 peices..!!! ...this is where u see all the "red" and white for the obvious..!!!
in simple terms....pulled apart...and inner caseing is removed,u end up with a "full clear"
rear housing..!!!...which then....can be painted or modded to what ever..????
then stuck back together again..!!!!..and u end up with what u see in the pics..!!...nick..
