red/clears for 95

Anybody knows where I can get those clear tails for 95. I dont really want to spend the money to do the 97 conversion just to get that yellow part out.

you can't buy them new... best option would be to get 97-99 lid unless u find some cheap used 95-96 clears

On the outside, no need to open them up, its just more work. About 5 to 6 coats should be good. As long as you use an orange bulb you'll be fine.

I thought the clear coat wouldnt do nothing to the orange because its just clear and maybe just give it more shine, but if it does give it that clear (white) look, Ive gonna have to try it

By accident in the store i bought the testors black coat instead of the clear coat (the labels are identical), and this is what happened (sig)!!!!

Oh my!

Be sure to get the clear so you dont end up the same place I am

He's just joking, thats how he wanted them. Tinted tails.

Quick question for everyone who actually thinks this works.
Can you tell me what color clear is? Or what clearcoat is?
If i put some clearcoat on anything, does it turn clear?
Have some common sense

Nope, they're screwing with you. This is what they do to the uninformed. Funny, huh?

Ditto.

Red/clears for the 95-96 tail lights are very expensive because they're very rare. They go for about $300 on eBay or the for sale forum on this site.
