Default Clear tail lights?

Is there anywhere I can get clear tail light lenses??? I know for a short while there were clear led tail lights with clear lenses... is there anything like that left out there?

I have some LED tailights for sale. They are clear in the center, but light up red when you brake. All tailights must have a red reflector, that is why there is a red ring on the outer edge. email me for pics and details if interested.

Your correct in that. The only way I know of is to beg a forum member (I think there are 3 or 4 of us) to sell them. They have long since been an out of production item since they are NOT DOT LEGAL. Good Luck in your quest.

I have been trying for over a year to buy clear lens, a while back a forum member posted he had several sets he would sell, he got numerious responses right away, then he wouldn't answer his PM's, gave a pay pal number then wouldn't acknowledge the transaction. I didn't have a pay pal account and he wouldn't even acknowledge me. I don't know if anyone was able to buy from him or not. If and when they come available on here you have to grab them immediately or you loose them.

Great find man... Spoke with a very pleasant lady She will call back and let me know if they have any in stock.

In the event she has them, the assembly of the lens is fairly easy but complicated. I will be more than happy to give you guy's my cell number and walk you through the process.
Take it from one that has done this, if you have a question ask (before the mistake happens) and i'll send you my number. This lens will need your factory housings, so you will not be driving your car for a day or so at least.
