Talk to jwikoff, hes doin clear tails now and his cardomain shows a pic of one cleared.

My first attempt to clear one of the main housings took about 10 minutes. There are several easy tabs, and then caulk holding everything together. Well, first there is some sort of plastic shield that needs to come off.

If you can't clear you can always tint...which IMO looks *sweet* too!!!

Tint is nice :wink:

Another way to do it, is to pull out the yellow and use red tint film inside the SSE lamps, and make them totally red. Or something like that.

yea, that's not a bad idea either, nine four did a very good job on his tails, now I don't know if I want them clear or red over the amber,

If you tint, make sure you clear coat them!

And use a satin clearcoat, not gloss (maybe even semi-gloss). Gloss clearcoat will show too many imperfections.
