Default Looking for some Tail Lights...

I'm shopping around for some new tail lights for my xB.

It's one of the last few exterior mods I want to do to the box, and it's turning out
to be one of the hardest to find!

I really like the look of the Helix clears, but all the ones I see (on EBay and on
Parts Pages) are Smoked over the clear. But that's totally not what I want.
I'm looking for simple, CLEAR. I want to give my box a little bit more of a chrome
look to the rear, and seeing those reflectors with some nice SilverStar bulbs in
there sounds like the thing!

I know these tail lights exist, as two months ago, someone had a set up for sale,
but I just didn't have the cash, or an idea of what I really wanted to do with my box.
Since then, I've got it cemented in my head that I want perfectly clear tails and
a spoiler that's not factory, and not fab style.

Can anyone help me with this???

Nah, I don't like the JDM stop light thing. I really like the
Helix, but I want CLEAR.

Are they legal in you state? They would be consider illegal in Maryland due to the fact that it does not have a red reflector.

You can do what I did for my JDM's (no relflector). Get some of those reflectors that go on an edge and place them on either side of your SL plate frame. You have red reflectors on the rear of the vehicle and they can't ticket you.

I like the helix as well, but I would have to use the reflector for Missouri. I'm just going with a custom painted set of stock tail lights, and hope the HiPo's don't throw a fit.

Default Clear Taillights

I've had those for about six months. Damn near got rear-ended a couple of dozen times. You can't see the stoplights in the sun, so I replaced the really cheap included bulbs w/ $30/each 24 Red LED spade bulbs from http://www.lightlens.com 16 LED's out the back, 8 more @ 90 degrees. Still couldn't see them all that well during the day, so........ I added (2) 20 LED 3rd Brake light strips inside the rear window at the bottom (wire in thru the rear window defroster grommet into the hatch), Now you can see me. But the clear taillights look cool. Oh, yeah, the yellow turn bulbs & clear backups are OK, and there is no reflector. Here's photo of mine: https://www.scionlife.com/gallery/sh...o=2985&cat=500

Hey Mark, you have any good photos of just the back of your
BOP box? I'd really like to see what these lights look like
installed, since you've got the same color xB as mine!
