Question OEM Black Tail Lights

Sup yall!

ok im getting really pissed off over here... so im finally making a thread about it

where do we find OEM black tail lights... i cant find them anywhere (been looking for a little under a year).
i have seen them before but havent found where there being sold.
im not talking about the ebay stuff. these look just like stock but the inside is black and the cover is clear.
Do i have to make these or are they sold somewhere?

i found a pic of them on the forum a while back so ill post it up so yall know what im talking about...

*EDIT - so it turns out that Drifts ZZ's ppw z has jdm's with tint on it and that the angle that the picture was taken makes it appear as a black housing. so i now need to know if the jdm's are different in design between the OEM's. like....
do i still have to cut them open?
or could i use the oven like the headlights?

Those are tinted JDM tails.

I believe the owner's username is DRIFTZ or something. Love his Supra.

plus if they make the led tails with the 20 leds holes in crome, smoked, black, and red...and they make oem ones in red and crome.
why would they not make the oem's in black too?

anyways...do the jdm's even open up? or do you have to cut them? anyone?

To open up 06+ taillights, you have to dremel it open.

Yes, those are JDM clear tails tinted.
