in general, simply personal preference. i've seen them before & liked it. my color scheme is black/silver & 'clear' if you will, i'd like to remove all other colors(red). i've also heard there are vette logo's without the red for outside chassis too. provided true i'll be searching. why have a ride that looks like all the others is my MO.

Do you have a link to where you saw them? Methinks you saw the DEPO LED tail lights.....NOT the same thing as halo leds with a clear lens....
A) You're going to destroy your tail lights trying to separate the lenses...trust me.
B) It will look like crap with clear lenses...trust me.

A) i hear ya but the others got them on there somehow so that's my quest is to simply find out how.
B) personal preference bro, you have your ride the way you like it don't ya? And you have no choice but to accept potentially negative opinions of others right? Exactly my point, it's the same scenario as my own.

I have done the clear taillight lens thing, it's not that hard just time consuming. I used a Dremel tool with a cutting blade, take your time and find the seem where the red lens meets the taillight bucket and start cutting. When you get the red lens cut away from the bucket you will have to clean up the surface as best you can. I don't have halo's in mine, I used a LED tower bulb's that have 15 red LED's on it. You then use a good silicone adhesive and put the lens back on the bucket. I used wood working clamp's to hold them together until they set up. Most of these clear lens where made in Mexico and they have to be fitted to you taillight bucket, they are not made with the same quality your stock one's do. I don't have any pictures I can post but if you go to my avatar and click on the photo's it will bring up some pictures of the car. As far as some of the comments made about ruining the car, and they look terrible. You couldn't make some of these guys happy if you hung them with a new rope. It's your car do what you want with it. I have shown the car for the last 8 yrs and it is a consistent winner. I think I have an extra set of the lens if anyone is interested.
