Because it's something different, plus you can not compare the stocks with my lights at all, the painted clears I have doesn't give me the orange turn signal, I put a set of RED 7440 bulbs and it gives me a bright red turn signal. I got the clear tail lights for a steal at $45 Why should I put them on all clear when I can get charged with a fat ticket. I like the 01-02 tails but I am not going to pay $200+ for those tails when I can get the altezzas. I just put an order in today for them. If you havent seen the type of lights I have please do not compare them to the lame 96-2000 stock lights the look much better, it was a fun job and it only takes about 20mins to do if you know what you are doing. I left a small part of the bottom of the tails clear to make it look like it's the reverse light just something I thought of what I also did put 7443 red bulbs so that when my lights are on, the clear reverse lense still remains lit red it looks awsome.

 

OK,OK...we get it! LOL Actually, that's exactly what I did the first time I painted it. I run the Japan red bulbs too. When I installed my under bumper reverse lights, I decided to paint over the clear reflector...did'nt want folks to think I was a tard with 6 back up lights...:pat:
