yes, someone made them. No one makes them to the collective knowledge of this forum. I should have included that in my response.

I actually don't think they will ever be making those taillights. You have to have a red reflector on the back of your car, hence our red taillights. I don't see how those could reflect red if they were all clear.

I know DOT says they have to have red reflectors in them, but there is another car out there that has stock taillights similar to those. I think the outter side has a silver/white paint on them, but when the breaks are hit they come out red.

That car also has Red reflectors on the bottom bumper, seperate from the taillamp. The only way the 272 Cobalt Clear taillights could be legal is if they had red reflectors in them.

Sorry but a vaccum forming machine will not make tail lights. You need a machiane that is 100 times more expensive. An injection mold machine and the dies neede to make the taile lights. I used to work for a company that did injection moldeing. That stuff is not cheap.

Why can't you make the clear taillights, but put small red relectors into the inner reverse lights? Sure they wouldn't be COMPLETELY clear, but something like this http://groups.msn.com/CobaltSSSC/sho...hoto&PhotoID=1 I know it's rough, but you get the idea.
