You're on your own unless you can get another forum member who knows what they are doing.
You won't get a reply from Bryce (AnderbrA); the last attempted group buy (several years ago) did not go well and he hasn't been heard from since.

Unfortunately no. They're more of a pain in the ass for custom fabrication. Tail light mods(other than tinting) are more uncommon than headlight mods for the Alero. Actually I'd say they're super rare to come across.

I thought about doing this too, the only way I could see it to be possible is to use an exacto knife to finely cut the plastic where the red reflector is in the middle... This will allow you to take a clear piece of lexan, frost it white like the reverse light, then use a heavy duty silicone to reseal the lense...
It was too much work for me at the time to accomplish, so I just tinted the lower portion of the entire tails to make it even!!!

Rubbing alcohol to clean the entire lens, then I taped off the red portion of the tail lights and put on about 3-4 light coats of VHT Nightshades and then removed the tape and added 3 light coats of clear coat over the whole lens.
Whole process took me less than 3 hours
