Default Clearing tails?

Hey everyone.
I saw a grand prix on the weekend with the inside pieces of the tail lights removed so you can see the bulbs inside. I thought it looked pretty good. I found a pic of one car on this site that had done the same. Does anyone have any info or tips on doing this? I did it with a spare set of lights I had from my sunbird a year or two ago, but don't want to risk breaking my gp ones since I have no back-ups. Any info or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Josh

Nah, sounds like he's asking about the clear stock tail light mod.


Let me see if I can find the write-up for you real quick.

i think i may try this over winter. the only thing that concerns me is hyperflash. i dont even know what that is...i assume it goes crazy when you hit the brakes? i read somewhere you need a resistor of some sort

No, hyper flash is just when you use your turn signal it'll blink quicker than it's suppose too.

On my sunbird I just heated the tails up and then pulled the lenses apart from the backing and then removed the inner pieces. I figured this would be done the same way instead of needing a dremel and cutting it apart. I think I will have to get a spare set and try iy out on those incase something doesn't work out well, haha. Thanks!
