clear taillights
i was wondering if anyone on here knows where to get some clear tail lights, cause one of my stock ones is cracked and if i got to replace it i might as well try to find after market ones instead of paying stock one, i saw the thread about the guy charging 400 for them but shit i would buy my headers b4 i would buy tail lights for that price

No one makes aftermaket tails for the alero. The ones for 400 are custom made by him.

No, its a little harder than that I think. I don't know I haven't done it, I like the stock tails.

I would assume that the red is only film. You could probably just clear it out with a shitload of goo gone.
If the plastic is tinted, then you'd have to have someone replicate the shape, then take it apart like headlights, and do it back together.

Yeah with the cracked one you could take it apart to see how hard it would be to make your own. Either way you need a new one.

Negative. The whole lens is made from red plastic. There's so way to make the stock lens clear. You have to remove the stock lens completely and have a new clear lens made.

Just plain clears are $250. Which is about the cost of a stock set at the junkyard.
$400 buys you these. I have to install the outer lens still mind you, but they're about 90% done although already sold.
