anyone interested in clearing the frosted look out of the clear tails? Accordv6er has done it.

 

Any pic ???

 

Yea...don't tease us like that. If it looks good, then I'll probably do it too.

 

Again, I was the master of creation with some inspiration...

You use a dremel and cut a hole in the top of the housing and then you pull the clear thing out. Then use some chrome tape to cover the hole that you just cut out.

It does look very smooth across the back

 

Where are the pics?

 

Gotta see the pic to believe!!!!

 

are you talking about that clear square box inside the signal of the 02 tails?

wouldnt the amber bulb(if using amber) show more then?

i was thinking of doing this too long time ago...i think it would look cleaner

 

sorry, but i have no idea wut ur talkin ab. haha. taking the yellow out? or the little orange covers over the bulbs in the 02 tails?

 

Where in Hampton Roads are you AccordV6er? I'm in Va Beach...

 

Yeah he's gotta be talking about the frosted plastic wedge that hides the orange blinker bulb.

I guess if you have illegal clear bulbs it would look good.

 

I did this same exact mod to my 96 Accord a few years ago as it had an amber piece inside the tails which I wanted to remove.

Instead of cutting the housing and damaging them though, break up the inner reflector using a soldering iron, cutting snips, and needle nose pliers. Then you can pull the pieces right out of the bulbs openings with no damage to the housings at all, and no worry at all about condensation.

 

it would look good as hell, but im like all tha others...please take pix...btw, as much as I spent on tha tails no way im cutting up my tails...Shyne

 

This method takes a lot of time and patience, though. You have to be careful to not damage anything.

 

you would either need to have ILLEGAL clear bulbs or legal CLEAR but blinking RED LEDs...
pics coming in a second...

tell me what you think...

 

I am in Chesapeake, Great Bridge.

If you want to do this let me know, I can help

 

Also see "candian" for an awesome projector project we did.


How we did it:

I drilled out the two clips that hold in the frosted part. On the back of the housing.

Then used a dremel to cut a hole in the top of the housing and then boba pulled out the frosted part.

Then covered the hole with chrome tape and your done

Thge crome tape is used for heating and cooling duct work. You can get it a Home Depot or Lowes. About 6$ or 7$ for a roll.

 

Thanks for the offer AccordV6er, but I don't have '02 tails...but BadazzTL might want to do this mod. He lives in Newport News...

 

Can't really tell. What's difference than having different colored bulb??

 

You could take the "orange" thing in your car. Thats what I did for my Accord. Now all you is all red and pink

 

sounds really good. u can buy chrome tape at home depot??? do u think i cud find sum big enough to cover up my orange reflectors in one peice???????? im getting excited now.

 

That tape is pretty wide...are you talking about covering up your tail light reflectors? That tape is not translucent.

 

No, the tape is just used to cover the hole that we dremel to take out the blocker thing. Basically instead of putting the part of plastic we cut out back in we cover it with tape instead.

The tape should be wide enough to cover the front orange part, but the tape is not 100% reflective. But since you really can't see the top inside your headlights it does not matter.

I can also clear headlights if you wanted

 

i got daytime pics, but keep in mind, the day was hazy and overcast.

better?

 

They do look awesome! I saw them in person. It seems more like a finish look. You must use clear bulbs or LED's though.
Great work Jason!

 

Did I not see a while ago, that someone painted the top portion of the bulb silver???? And it still worked.
