I wouldn't think so! I used to own a 3G accord and there weren't hardly any aftermarket parts for it. No tail lights period. All of the Guys on 3Geez.com made their own clears. If thats what you're looking for. They said there is no way to remove the stuff because i'm prety sure the plastic is tinted.

I have heard of doing this too but i think it turns the entire light to white, or like those clear altezza's u see driving around. Also, my friend painted his taillights with the same paint they use for staind glass, it looks really badass

I was under the impression that the amber portion of the lights (as well as the red portions) were colored plastic, not painted. So, there's no way you would get the color out because the plastic itself is amber. Plus, if you put it in the oven, you're much more likely to melt the tail-light, not the "paint" (if in fact they are painted).

You're right. The lenses are not painted - they are, in fact, colored plastic. I have heard of people using bleach to get the color out of the plastic, though I don't know for a fact that this method works. Seems like a lot of wasted time if it doesn't...
