Complete Clear Reverse Lights?

Are there any completely clear reverse lights out there? By completely clear I mean, without the red reflector around the white portion.

Barring that, I suppose I could use nightshades or just some vinyl to make the red reflector black. But then I would just have this little white circles and that would probably look goofy. I've also heard of some people on some vehicles being able to remove the red color from the lens (on different vehicles, not cobalts). I imagine that it was because of the way the red was put on (ie not red plastic). I don't know how Cobalt lenses are made.

So.. Any suggestions on somehow getting clear reverse lights?

I got to thinking about it the other day....check into the lights for Lexus IS 300's that are on the trunk. you can get those in all clear and they just might be the same size...

Yeah, after I saw your first response I bought a pair of the clear IS300 trunk lights on ebay for $20. I'll see what I can do with them when they get here.
