Clear Tail lights for an 01 Camry - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I am looking for clear tail light lens for my 01 Camry, I don't want the Chrome lens with the red markers. I saw that someone on here has them on a 97-99 Camry. Do they offer these?

No, the lights I saw on eBay were all clear but they only had one side

FYI, not having red reflectors on the rear tail lights = illegal. Just letting you know.

Actually that's not true, at least not in Kansas, they must either reflect or display the red color. There is actually a Older model Buick that does not have red reflectors on the tail lights, they are clear but the bulbs are red. As long as they don't see white where it should be red, it's okay.

Those laws aren't controlled by the state. It falls under the USDOT. There MUST be a red reflector AND red illumination on the rear of the vehicle. Yes, the reflector doesn't have to be in the light... like the Lexus RX350 for example. Their reflectors are in the bumper. I can look up the USDOT code section for you if you like; just to confirm.

Of course, what you do to YOUR car is not my choice. Just trying to keep you informed.

I'll buy some reflectors for the bumper but I would love those clear lenses
