No, they are fiberglass covers that are painted body color. There is a vendor in the sponsored sales section that offers a vinyl overlay in red or black though. I made a post about these tail lights here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=59939

I like those "1st generation" TYC's
I like the current TYC's and so I thought I wanted those. High bucks, tho, for a fashion item (local dealer says "$330! *what a rip, others sell much cheaper*).
That prospect, of paying even $200 or so for TYC steered me to go look for better value. XBhawk's red-framed Altezza's got me thinking that I like these in red frames. Idid not so much care for the chrome or black frame versions.
Here's what I just bought today for $81 delivered. Yes, from Ebay.
Red frame
Red light.. Yellow light.. Clear reversing light
sidebar: what comes next may sound goofed, but I'm serious!
All I need for a true stoplight look is can of Testor's modeling spray paint in transparent green. sci-SiCk on a budget.
how would you use that green light?
Waaaaaal I am thinking this plan out! Make the bottom lamp green. Not to be used as a backup light, but as a _GO_ light!
huh! but I am serious, dudes! with relays and simple wiring the green lights could be made to operate when the go-pedal is pressed half way.
ahhhhh! Sooooooo SIcK!
i am that
whut do you think? have you seen red yellow green lamped tails before, ever? and the green serves a function!
This scheme tells drivers behind whether the box is POWERING up,, or just cruising, or coasting down.
