2005 - 2006 Clear Taillights

Anyone seen a set of completely clear taillights for a 2005 and 2006 MINI? Saw a set in MC2 magazine on a car in UK. Can those lights be imported here? Anybody know? Can someone refer a link to me so I can get them....

Cheap too if you like the look. There are also matching third brake lights that are clear.

noles825 - thanks for the update, but those have a silver and red background in them. I'm looking for the type of clear tail lights that were available for the 2002 - 2004 MINI's, the completely clear taillight assembly. On page 76 of the Nov-Dec 2007 edition of MC2 magazine, there is a 2005 hyper blue convertible with these taillights.

There's a guy in the building I work at who has a PS/B MCS that has clear tail light covers. I've yet to actually run into him in the building....

If I run into him, I'll ask... don't hold your breath...

I thought that was the one that I linked to earlier, but if that's what you're looking for and I sent the wrong one previously, go here...they're cheap.

Your both right..... Yes they are clear taillights, but no they are not for the 2005 and 2006 year MINI. The taillight assembly changed in 2005, but the 2002 - 2004 taillights still fit in the opening and will plug into the housing. Unfortunately, the wiring is incorrect causing the turn signals to lit up with the lights on, and the brake light wiring goes to the middle turn signal. Has no one ever had a set of these tail lights?

IrishCooper - Thanks. I'm about 90 percent sure those are the lights from the MC2 magazine.
