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

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.

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.
