Here is some pictures of clear tailights

I was bored so I photoshoped clear tailights for those curious




Its not bad but I guess they would have to be clearer and I don't have the photoshop skills. It looks too plain IMO I'll stick with the nice rainbow of colours although it does look kinda futuristic.

Clear lights look pretty good on light colored cars. But I hate how much they stand out on a car that isn't silver or white.

Well.. if someone could photoshop some Alteza lights on the back of a Camaro that would be cool. (I would never put those lights on myself) I would like to see what they look like though.

Im saying if you have a jet black car.... then black taillights look the best.... now almost any other color white with red taillights would be cool maybe... keep up the photoshopping!

I saw a few pairs of clear taillights for sale on ebay.I could be wrong,but I don't think they were homemade either.It said that they were oem quality and there starting price was $38.They looked like they were pretty good quality but couldn't tell you if they are or not.Sorry,don't have a link.Just do a search on 82-92 camaro taillights and you should be able to find them

It was 98-99 Corvette Silver which I think is Sebring Silver. I just told the guy "I want Corvette Silver". The original Silver was called Silver Metallic and It wasn't quite as bright. I think the 2001 Corvettes have even I lighter Silver now which I think looks really nice.

For all those Trans am owners out there...there is a way to make your tail lights clear as well. But you can do it yourself. They are not as bad as you think..actually they look great. I posted the pictures a while back when everyone first started asking about clear tail lights. Oh by the way, those clears on the camaro look pretty good...i guess I was wrong about how they would look. And for those saying that once the bulbs are in it wont look good is wrong...b/c I see this stang driving around...and if you ever noticed they are not Clear Clear...they are more "whited out" as they call them here on Long Island. You do not see the bulbs as long as that specific type of plastic is used. There is a silver stang with them and you do not see the bulbs...unless you put your eyes up to his tail lights and decide to peek in. Oh yea, I will try and find that post with the clear TA tail lights and bring it to the top so you all can see. It keeps the grid on the tail lights...but it just isnt tinted. I think it looks good.
