First ever 1/1 customized all clear TL tail lights

patent IDEA, lol. I just want to be the first to post these before the depo brand takes the idea like they did with the 3G TL, but I just made these. I say this because if you look at the picture of the silver 3G TL and even the smoked set, those are my tails lights. Owner was weasTL and the guy told me "so what, posting the picture public means its public property"…oh well I guess, anyway..

First ever, what do you think? ALL OEM parts…Clears weren't cheap but here is the final product.

Being that the clears weren't cheap, to reproduce these would be the initial $160 labor and $300 for the clears, $460 plus stocks. All OEM parts..

Good quality work. We need side diffusers for the headlights. Tinted and blue like the 04-08 JDM TSX headlights.

They look good btw, maybe even better with a slight tint over them.

$460 + trading your stock taillights?

I have a feeling this will look great on silver cars, but probably look cheapy on all the other colors. I'm curious to see them actually mounted to the car.

Have you made the rear reflectors too?

I MUST be getting old...I used to have clear tail lights on my CRX when I was in my teens and I was under the impression that clear tail lights were about equally as cheesy as altezza tail lights.

Car is dirty, so I will get updated pictures but here they are installed. If you have another color TL, we can also color match the bezel for you..

IMO if you blacked out/tinted the top 1/3 and the bottom 1/3 with the turn signal, the lights would look SICK! That way it's not all blingy chrome and the brake signal is the only one that's the white/clear.
