Hey I was looking for those tailights also. That picture is fake however, I have seen a copy of that picture with regular tailights so obviously one of the pictures is wrong. I do not know any distributor in the US that has them. There is one place that sells clear tailights, so you could buy those and then paint the section you want red with hobby paint.

as kiato said, the lights in those pics are fake. that is a photoshopped pic. the original pic is from a german auto magazine article about the EvolutionII.

The closest you will ge tto those lights are a set of completely white lenses which are occasionally sold on ebay.

You can get those now. Check this out: EBAY
I don't really like how the red brake section looks, though. It's not red enough:


Later!

that's because it's a red insert on the inside of the assembly rather than the red sections being moulded in red plastic

Yep, IMO that makes it kinda cheap looking. I suppose the brake portion could be painted with red tinting spray to make it look better, but that would be a bit tricky with the ridged shape of the lens.

Later,

The German E-Bay lights are the "clear" lenses, which look nicer on the white or silver cars. If you check the old MB german sites, you'll notice that the Euro 190's had lights that were almost completely red (no orange sections).
