Making clear turn signals

Hey all, alright, is there a way to make your own clear turn signals (the one on teh sides of the car)? I thought i remembered reading a post a long time ago about shaving off the amber part on the turn signal and replacing it with that reflective stuff thats in the front turn signals. I searched hte boards over and over yet couldn't yield the results that i sought after. If anybody could find this post for me or provide me with instructions on how to make them i will greatly apprecciate it. Thanks in advance

Sure this is what you do. Take off you tail lights. Sand the inside till its clear. The surround the inside of the lights with foil. Pop it back on and your ready to go!

MetalliCamaroRS i did do the search and i know that you can purchase these markers, but i don't want to do that. i want to MAKE them, i know i've seen a post about how to take the clear lens from the front turn signal and fab it to work with the side turn signals. no one knows what i'm talking about? and redbird 400 i'm not planning on doing this to my taillights, just side turn signals
