How do you get the rear tailights clear? I'm not talking about altezzas, but I've seen someone replaced the yellow portion of the tailight with clear lights? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

you can melt that piece off with a soldering iron, then stick a needle nose and break it into pieces then just spill it all out. or you can go kamikaze on it and take a hammer and screw driver and just pound away. i suggest the first one.

It's not too diffucult of an job, u need either a oven or a paint stripper to get the adhesive in the tails hot enough to pry them apart, then the clear/yellow piece comes out pretty easily, you need some of the clear plexiglass stuff that goes over fluorescent lighting in stores and stuff, u can get them at lowes or home depot, when u take the clear/amber piece out, trace this on the sheet of clear stuff, then cut that out and lay it in where the old one was, it's also a good idea to put silicone around the area to keep it snug and also seal out water, once that is done seal the tail-light up and you're done, there's instructions on this somewhere on the web which i used to do it, can't remember the site now though
