Default Reverse Light

Hey guys,

I have a question. My reverse lights on my 2.2l 02 cavalier doesnt work at all. Im not looking to fix that. As a matter of fact what i want to do is change the reverse light to be a brake light. I know how to do all the wiring myself, but what i want is to change the clear white lense used as my reverse light and change it to a Red lense. Anyone out there know's someone who know's how to swap out the clear lense for a red. i dont care what the price may be i just want to do it.

Hope to hear some feed backs.

take the tail light housing off, drip some red paint into it and swish it around


btw.. you instantly fail inspection too
