for clearing out the tail light... i was wondering what the best way to cut the fluorescent light cover was?... because whenever im almost done cutting it... it just ends up breaking...

 

I used a dremel, and now I did another set, Spray painted the inside of the light, and didnt use an insert

 

dallas taillight mod... i just did it five minutes ago

 

Use a sharp, sharp blade. Something like a surgical scalpel.
Just line up with something sturdy and go thru the cut a few times.

 

dremel here

 

if u dont have a dremel, heat the knife blade.. it will melt right through the plastic

 

clearing taillight??

Please explain or post a thread link.

Sorry for the n00b question. This is just my first car to start fixing up.

 

hit up the faqs

 

can't do it on you 95....this applies for 97-99 taillights

 

yep, he should still read the faq's... it has alternatives for 95/96 tails like red-out.

 

If you have a whizz wheel or a roto zip w/ a cut off wheel try it, they work well for me.

 

Read the majority of them before i started posting. I am not new to Forums......so i understand the newb questions. I however did not see anything about clearing out the tails....and since this is my first mod car......i thought i would ask.

besides.....i cant find any of the white and red tails for the 95......worth asking and being told no.

 

the 96-96 tails cannot be cleared. THe actual lense is amber colored, unlike the 97 -99 which rely on a yellow reflector inside the light housing.

The only option is the get clear white tails and paint the reds in.

 

I used a bandsaw, cuts through it like butter

here is a good site with step by step instructions on how to "red out" that amber. It ends up looking a lot better than before. (They have examples on the bottom of the page.) http://www.vqpower.com/v2/modules.ph...howpage&pid=41
Its a quick $3 mod that will make your car look a lot better if you can't afford those $150 red/clears

 

good suggestion!
