Sedan or Astina? Either way, your choices are Aus-spec ones [1 brake light per side] or the Jap-spec ones [2 brake lights per side]. You'll pay through the nose if you can even find real JDM ones, but you can mod your Aussie ones to look JDM. Let me know if you want more info on the light mod.

Your BG tail light options are as good as your handy work!

Easiest mod is to do the JDM tail light mod (twin brake lights ^^^^ in Derbs signature)
you can always smoke them/ tint them.
If you are good at electronics or have the time to learn... doing an LED set up really isn't that hard. There are millions of "How to" on the Web for LED tail light setups.

But this will not be legal in any state sadly. However, Mr. Plod can't really tell the difference between the non-legal LED bulb replacements I have in my brake lights and a normal bulb. And you can always pull the line of "They must have come with the car" or "It passed the RWC so I didn't think to check".

EDIT: just saw that pic, kinda cool actually, definitely a DIY job though. If you want to go through with this I have a mate who runs a LED lighting shop. PM me for details.
