i don't believe you can. But if you want it cleared you can buy the inspire tailights and take out the amber piece. that's what i did.

There is a way to remove the amber in your tailights to make them seem like the inspire ones. There is a guy out here in LA that says he can do it but either when I can he doesnt have the time, or when he can, i cannot remove the tailights and be without a car. He said he was going overseas and will bring back a set of tailights for me. Then what Im planning on doinf is clearing out mine and selling with a core return of course so everyone else can get them if they would like, considering they turn out good. He said hes done it before.

$495 good reasons why........... there just way to much.. if I have too Im going to get them but if I can get this guy too make mine for a lot cheaper and work the same then id rather save up that money and spend it elsewhere

The reason I dont want to lay out the money for Inspires is because even tough they're clear lenses. They have a yello reflector inside. If I spent $500 then I would at least want to make them superwhite. I just don't think its worth it. I'm sure the car still looks 10 times better, maybe when I'm finished with everything.
