Love the new totally all original video layout 😂, Nothing is uninspired and this is a great way to cover a topic.
Hahaha yep yep completely and totally original thumbnail and video style here 😂
Correction on the history. There in fact was all clear taillights available in the mid to late 90’s and were available for the 1988-1995 Honda Civics. This was during the era were MR2 Kouki and Supra taillights were being retrofitted onto practically every car back in the day. I know this because I was an active street racer in the Bay Area California from 1996-2003.
oh interesting!! I couldn't find anything written up on them anywhere online otherwise I would have for sure put it in the video!,thank you for letting me know!!
Then u woke up
Saab 9-3 comes with clear taillights 2008+
Loved the history lesson! Fantastic information on legality as well. Clear tail lights are badass, the ones that stood out to me the most were the 2008 to 2012 Subaru Impreza hatchback. They just have a red side reflector, the rest of it is clear. I think manufacturers have reached a happy medium with having a red running light, and a clear brake light with red LEDs behind it. Dodge and Jeep love to do this and it looks cool. I also think separating the brake light from the running light is a lot safer. The easy way I’ve seen this be done is by heating up a sheet of clear acrylic and molding it over the lens, and then just having a slightly bigger lens.
-One more note, there actually has to be 2 different types of red reflectors on the back of a car. One must face rearward. The other must be side facing. Both have to be red in color.
Thank you!!
true! I should have mentioned that one needs to face to the side! although some of these manufacturers really try not to haha
great video formatting and editing! Surprised this hasn't blown up yet
Thanks! I for sure can’t take credit for the formatting lol i copied fitment industries
Hey Zac! Where can I find that hot knife plastic welder you have to plastic weld back housings after retrofitting, cant seem to find them anywhere other than the ones with the metal staples.
yep! heres a regular plastic welder: amzn.to/48B64py
I kind of like using wood burners too: amzn.to/41VJMg9
How can one get their lights done by you.
Taillights can definitely be clear as long as they illuminate red. You DO need red reflectors somewhere on the back, but not necessarily on the taillights themselves
Edit: exactly!
lol true! maybe I need to be the one to test out the reflector tape trick haha
I have a 2010 Toyota Camry SE. Does anyone know if the lense is clear on the tails? It looks clear with red diffusers inside but I'm not 💯 sure. I plan on customizing them for a future project so I haven't removed them yet. Also, how are they sealed? Permasealed?
Nice! I did a quick search and there seems to be many different light options for the Camry. ive never opened them up before so im not sure how they are sealed up
@@zaccook nice, thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work.
In my country the Philippines you can have red or green turn signal bulb led or halogen but not blue because of the police but a lot of people in my country still put blue led or halogen bulbs because people in my country don’t care about the police in my country because the police in my country are corrupt but you can change the color of your tail lights and third brake light to any color you want in the Philippines as long as it is not the same color the body of the car
just sucks because i have made so many clears for civics and hondas for super cheap. then i bought an nb miata and altezzas are $400 😕 when ebay, for civics and most older hondas i can buy clears for $100 or altezzas for $60 unfortunate miata stuff is so expensive
right! its so wild how prices range so much. ive done amg gt clear tails and the tail lights alone are like $900
Bro just talked the whole time
Well yeah …..
