No one knows of any clear side lights do they??? Otherwise I guess I will black them out like the rear lights...dunno how good that would look on the dark blue...I would love to go with clear....if they make them? Help please!!
 
Im guessing since you are from the states that you mean the turn signals and not side markers like on the euro version. No, right now I, or anyone else, have seen any clear corners. I feel your pain though because I really want some too.

Good news though. I will be taking off my front bumper in the next couple of weeks so im going to disasemble those lights and see if I can remove the amber reflector and replace it with something else. I will keep you updated.

Also congrats on your new ride. As most have mentioned, we do like a bit of banter but we loooooove pictures. So post some pics of those tail lights because i want to see what they look like.

I did this same mod on my 02 Galant, just pulled the light assembly out, reached in thru the hole with some needle-nose and smashed the reflector, turned it upside down and shook all the pieces out and cleaned up with a vacuum attatchment. VOILA! Clear corners. Of course, Galant was a piece of garbage and i dont have the nerve to try this on my Pat yet.

RTends,
I was thinking it, but I didn't say it. And yes, that was 30 years ago. Ugh!

Leia,
Are you going to do all of the lights or just the tail lights?
 
Sent you an email about the power window installation. I'd like to see what you've done/are doing.

I'm doing just the rear lights black, and omg are the windows conversions a pain....if you have specific questions e-mail me...in the mean time i will try to put together some info for you...and yea..the blacked out tail lights are ghetto but hey what can I say i like em like that :)
 
Methinks dark or white signals are a passing (no pun intended) fad. Even if you don't think so now, I predict that in a few years you too will think they look stone ghetto. That's bad, BTW.
I didnt realize a fad could last 20+ years. People have been blackin out lights since the 80's and clear corners have been around around 10 years. The stupid Altezza style lights have been around...well since the Altezza was first produced...

LED lights are the future, and blacked out lights arent a fad just like Chrome isnt a fad.
