How do I clear out my OEM tail lights?

[talia713]

I have a 2001 Grand Prix with ALTEZZA tails right now. I liked them when I first got them, now they don't look as good to me. I REALLY want to clear my OEM tails, but I don't know where to start. Can anyone help me? I would really appreciate any help.

What do you mean by CLEAR your OEM tail lights?
Are you trying to clean them, ???

[talia713]

I want to clear the OEM tails. Basically, I want to remove the red inside from the OEM to make them look clear.

Can't. Color runs all the way thru.

I was looking on cardomain.com today and I did see a grand prix that had OEM tails that the person cleared. I will have to ask him how he did it. It really looks sweet.

Good luck.

It has been done many times!

Our tails have 2 layers,clear on the outside and the red on the inside.You have to remove the tail lights,then use a flat blade screw driver and a hammer and chip away at the inside.But be very carefull as many have broken them also trying to remove the inside layer.Try doing a search at clubgp or ask the same question in the Apperance fourm for more details.

Thanks Larry...i Have Seen Many Of Our Cars With The Clear Tails, I Just Had No Idea How To Start. Like I Said In A Previous Reply, I Did See A Car On Cardomain.com And The Guy Did Email Me Back On How To Do It....i Cannot Wait To Get Started. Now I Need A Set Of Oem Tails.

if ya seem to mess up for some reason - just have a salvage yard located ya some replacment tails cause they are about 230 a tail from the dealer - the salvage yards will easily throw them at u for 25-35 a piece - good luck on the mod - let us know how it came out !
happy motoring ....

I might have, but I don't have my money in line to buy parts yet. You guys think there's anything wrong with buying parts before the car?
