it ain't that hard to do..all you really need is a set of round truck lights...or somethign similar adn a big ass hole saw to match teh size of teh lights mounting part...
grab the stock lights...cut the hole in teh plastic with the saw....install the new lights adn make teh wiring connections(you'll have to figure out this one)
tehn paint the plastic parts with some quality colour matched paint to your car....minus the reverse lights...
or at least thats how I'd do it..

I've already figured out the wiring... the only trouble is that you have only 2 function for each light and since you need 1 brake and 1 turn signal you have to choose which light gets which function... as for the tail driving lights I let all 4 lights come on.

that way it looks better at night.
The corvette however has some 3-way function where all lights will be on while driving go brighter when you brake and flash when you turn.

I need to buy the relay to see if I can hook it up.
and don't use a saw... buy a dremmel and use the highest speed with a fine cutting bit... a course bit will cause the plastic to vibrate and it will crack the lense... I learned that the hard way.

Thats a good Idea, I had a really ghetto Idea. Buy some black sticky vinal and cut your holes in it then stick it over the lenses. That way you match the black trim and have round tail lights. YOu could even have tails in the shape of the honda h or what ever else your crazy brain can come up with
