Crystal Clear Tail Lamp

OK. Just finished another set of tail lamp conversion. Originally the owner wanted to clear the tail lamp and smoke it but wasn't happy of the outcome. So this time he wanted all clear. So, I would say this is very clean job. Enjoy!

Yup I uses the dremel to take it apart. I did a DIY on the thread long time ago. Some people tried to attempt to do it but was unsuccessful. So some of them ended up having me do it.

Yup Ray did mine too, looks sick!! I agree the tinted ones were too dark I got to see the pics these look way better. I get compliments on these all day long. Ray I noticed I'm getting condensation in only the right side lamp, any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve that?

Here is a pic on my whip!

Nice...they would look pretty on my ASM Type S. I'd like to get my hands on a cheap set and have you do a set for me.

Those look awesome! I think they'd look great on any color TLS!

My only concern is most states require a red reflector in the tails...Wondering if the police have been harrassing anyone who has these.

The Lexus RX is an all clear lens in the tails, but what they do is have a red reflector in the bumper. One on each side so I guess they get away with it.

You're right ELEGANT, I stand corrected.
I should have said that most states require a red reflector somewhere in the rear corners, not necessarily the tails.

Put in some gel silica. That will get rid of the condensations.

Actually I did one for the customer where I added the red reflector on the bottom of the lens.

Thanks...I realize they're red, but I was just curious how they would look in a clear lens.

And aren't the tail lamp bulbs LED'S? Do you have to replace them all with red ones?
