assassinator01 Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Hi, I am new to this forum. I owen a lexus es300 1999 and i am really happy with it. I just want to change the lights in the rear. Make them clear. Does anyone know how to do this?
AusJapanWindom Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Hi, We have been discussing this at adnausium! Well I can only talk from a 96 owners point of view. And know that another member who by the name of bbsal, has a 95, basically same as 96. And he was able to only clear the amber from the back, as the rest of the tail light is red plastic, and not the color insert like the amber part.. It looks great.. As for me, I am yet to do this, and have seen the clear tail light for a 97 and up, so I think you may be lucky as to having these around somewhere.. I own a silver 96 model, and think all clear would look good on mine, but cant find anything either? Here is a picture for you to look at, and how I know you can get them.. But good luck, I wouldnt know to start when it comes to finding them? Chris
SKperformance Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 97-99 have amber and red centers the 00-01 have a jeweled red and clear center they drop right in to replacejust need all 4 pieces as it is 2 inner and 2 outer
bbsal Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 want to hear a funny story.i always get people with es 300s pulling up next to me asking about my lights but for the first time i woke up today went outside and seen a letter on my windsheild asking how i got them lights.the letter was from a local detailing shop and said they searched everywere and cant find the clear lights for my model car.so they left me there number and i called them back and told them you dont buy them that way and let them in on the secret to doing it yourself.anyway they have 3 different people that want the lights clear and just happen to see mine and thats why they left a note.they called me back again and asked if i could do one customers front lights for 200 dollars so i said what the hell ok.looks like you can make some money doing this.lol.i should go to all the junk yards and buy all the front headlights that are in good shape and sell them cleared.lol
assassinator01 Posted June 29, 2003 Author Posted June 29, 2003 Well How would you make them clear???
AusJapanWindom Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Ease up there brother!!!... You make them clear by removing the amber insert.. Just look through the topic pages, and you will find heaps of posts on how to clear your lights! Chris
bbsal Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 yes just read all the posts because there plenty of info on how to do it.
assassinator01 Posted June 30, 2003 Author Posted June 30, 2003 Yah i saw the post. But i was woundring would this be illegeal? As ever color will be the same? Let me know and i am kinda ippy about throwing my light cover in the oven
SKperformance Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 not sure about the mcv20 being able to remove the amber insert i did mine 4 years ago but i only found out by accident that it aws removable when one rear light got smashed and it fell out and had a clear lens behind it since then everyone learned from my mishap i guess not sure if anyone who smashed your year lens has checked
