Eric, check out Mina Gallery. They have some custom tail lights. They are the only ones that sell any sort of aftermarket tail light that I am aware of. So, your option is to get a style that most of the tail light is matched to the body color and then you have 2 recessed lights that are round. If you want to see what they look like, check out http://www.minagallery.com/jagxp/Jag.../dualtails.htm. This is all that I am aware of.

Chris, I agree, the only other option would be to set out to make your own. Just need a basic knowledge of how to work with molten acrylic and be able to form your own moulds. Nothing big you understand. Then there is the whole legal issue of "not being DOT approved" thing too. You would be more than likely better off finding a tail light that was slightly smaller than the X's tail light and then going to a body shop to have them french them in place. But, if you did that, I'm sure people would really wonder what vehicle you are driving if they only saw the back.

Eric, there are a few examples of what some guys have done with tint or paint. I actually LIKE the look of the Mina tail lights. Arden was making some too at one point but i wasn't sold on the fit and finish. Had a body shop custom paint mine instead. There should be a few threads you can have a look at if you search here on the forum.
