Clear White Tail Lights
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a fully clear tail light for our cars? I want to run a clear or white out lense and then use red LED bulbs for the brake and turn signals.

You might want to check your state laws regarding clear lenses and reflectors. Most states require rear red reflectors that are visible at night for a specific distance.

I had that set up....in fact, I just sent SEALAWYR the lens' so he can put them on his car. I got them from ecklers a few years ago.... and ran red bulbs underneath.. here is what they look like.

The clear lenses sure give the car a different look. Probably look better on some colors than others IMO.

From the last time this thread went around, i think I was the only one that responded that had them or knew where to get them... Maybe I should have sold mine or auctioned them off....hehe
