clear knobs????

[Green Eyed Monster]

What is the best way to do this?????( clear knobs ), Just sand the face off of them or what????

[johny_boy32]

Just take the black rubber piece off. They come right off...just pull and peel back, or cut a little slit in the end and tear. If you are look for blue knobs...this isnt the way to go...they are green at night but blue during the day

[Grouch]

and this is only on the 99, maybe the 00 year Aleros. The 01+ models have solid white knobs under the black covering.

I want the green at night...so it is good...I just want the front not the whole thing....

[johny_boy32]

your right grouch...my 2000 is the blue green also

[Green Eyed Monster]

mine is a 99 :thumbsup:

[Illarin]

Mine are a nice blue at night. I totally dig the 3D look, too :)

You could probably take the rubber part off then cut the front out and slide it back on the knob.

[Cyber Knight]

Or take the rubber off and paint black around the sides where you don't want the light to show thru. Probably easier to take the paint off if you make a mistake than to uncut the rubber.

mine were white so i used some cavy/fire ones

Can you replace the bulbs with LED's to make better????

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

you can, but it would tak a lot of work to get into that part. Anything is possible with enough determination, knowledge or money. For switching out the lights to LEDs, money shouldn't be a big issue. :lol:

[Green Eyed Monster]

yea, lol they are not much....

[Aleromaster]

I've done it. Its just time comsuming. Really time consuming.

[ptrudel]

are you sure the 2000's come off? i can't seem to get the black rubber off of it...

[brad_galles16]

yes the 2000's come off. I took mine off about two months ago and they came off real easy. I got small flat-head screwdriver and pryed the rubber piece off. You could also just break the tabs off if you want but I didn't do that in case I wanted to put 'em back on.

[johny_boy32]

^dido^

[ptrudel]

i'll just have to try that then...

[`2000redalero]

Wow this is creepy, cause I never saw this post, and I took mine out today, wondering if you can put em back on if you don't like em later on...

[Green Eyed Monster]

I left the rubber around the edge and just cut off the front ....that way you still have grip and get the clear knob........

[mlcroy20]

Hey guys I just cleared mine tonight and I have to admit, I didn't really like the pics of them, but I really like they way they look up close and personal!!! :thumbsup:

[Green Eyed Monster]

Yes, they look better in person..... <_<
