Here's an easy mod that will subtly set your WJ apart from a stocker
Here's a step by step if anyone is interested. (This is on a 2000 WJ) Some like the look, some don't - doesn't make it faster or make it wheel any better, but it's a minor bit of easy customization. Gotta be a little different.
Here's the victim:
 Stock Taillight
I taped off everything except the offending amber area:
 Taped Off
I hit it with some 600 grit to givve the paint something to bite into:
 Light Sanding
I cleaned everything up with some Prep-Sol:
 Clean off all residue
I used Testors #1605 Transparent Candy Apple:
 Testors Candy Red
Painted and drying (I hit them with two semi light coats). Don't go too thick:
 Coated
On the Jeep:
 Dry and Installed
Overall shot:
 Overall Shot
This only took maybe an hour and a half including paint drying time. Definitely only 1-banana on the difficulty scale.
Here's how it looks at night:
