Default Light covers

I'm sure i may have missed it somewhere on the forum but I did search for it i'm looking to get light covers that includes the reverse lights, i do intend on replacing the tail lights and head lights at some point school is just very costly at the moment and am looking for a quick fix that's relatively cheaper. Oh and the reverse lights just take away from the look BRIGHT white on sexy black

there are no reverse light covers, i'm not sure if there are covers for the 06 either because of the different shape to them compared to the 00-05, a lot of people tint them instead of getting covers

do them yourself with vht? if your doing headlights and tail lights, probably shouldnt do the headlights, it will dim the light output a lot. but if you get a can of vht and a can of clear, you can do the tails and reverse lights, will cost you like 15-20 bucks. it's just a spray paint that can be found at just about any autopart store

they dont make covers to my knowledge for 06/07. there is a company that has the precut tint for the headlights but not the tails.
