A guy at the custom shop gave me a suggestion for clear tails. I had a spare center tail light laying around so I decided to experiment.
I cracked the red lens with a screwdriver and pulled out all the pieces around the edge with pliers while heating up the silicone. The clear lens needs to be heavily siliconed to prevent water from getting in and I don't know how possible it is to keep the bead of silicone off the lens and neat looking. Also, the groove, where the red lens sat into, needs to be filled in and painted. I imagine the corner tails are the same way, but I didn't have any spare ones laying around so I didn't try.
The red lens is what gave the entire housing structural integrity. Now, with the red lens removed, the light is kind of flimsy.
Also, the clear lens and the plastic housing are not as thick and sturdy as the headlights are, so you need to use caution when heating them up or they will melt.
I think they look pretty cool, but haven't yet decided if I'm going to attempt this on my good lights. I'm going to fill in the groove, and paint the housing to see how good I can make them look; I'll post pics when I finish.
Tell me what you think:
