Re: brake light idea....

wouldn't be easier to get like a custom piece of plexiglass or something to cover the 3rd brake light? then it'd be clear.

Re: brake light idea....

only thing is that it wouldn't look flush/clean and you would have to glue it on and you would still see the red lense.

Re: brake light idea....

would it not be possible to clear out the factory one? I know people have made their own clear lights with a hairdryer or somethin...just a thought.

Re: brake light idea....

How are you going to still see red if you put a piece of plexi or acrylic over the light? REPLACE the red part of the lens, just like the Firebird guys do for clear corners.

Re: brake light idea....

Do a search on google for DIY clear lenses, you should come up with a bunch of different how-to websites; this is what gave me the basics for clearning my corners which I did over 5 years ago, and they still work/look perfect.
