Guys with clear bumper lenses, I need help with rear install!
Hey guys, I checked around and search doesn't work. I found one thread with info but it wasn't detailed.
I installed the front clear bumper lenses already. I left the two red stock ones on in the back because the fitment issue was annoying me. I already have a dremel, and fix the fronts and use 3m doulbeside molding tape to keep them in. The thing is I can't figure out what to do for installing the rear lights. Even my g20t rear bumper lenses wasn't nowhere near this complicated. Can you guys with the clear bumper lights send me a pm or email on a write up on detail ideas/instructions to get them to fit. My email is dredboy@hotmail.com or send a pm. You guys should have a write up in the faq that details what to do for the rear. The generic instructions say nothing or maybe it's my car because i drive an 04.

Damn I just hijacked my own thread.

can't install rear either
i have an 00 i30t and rear clears won't seem to fit
the rear fender is on the way, i guess, so the clears won't fit
any ideas?
did you have to modify the clear itself?
i might be able to take some pictures soon

Honestly, whether my opinion matters to you or not, I like the look of the reds in the back. I'm with Meta on this and I don't think the clears on the back looks right, unless you have clear tails as well and use colored bulbs like on some Lexus SUV's; And then again, I only think the 100% all-around clear/chrome look from front to back only looks good on silver cars...sometimes.

I installed the rears, cutting the little gray bulb housing to where there was no more gray sticking out, you gotta do it without cutting the cables then it will fit. Make sure you put some silicone after you cut it so no humidity wont come in.

Only problem I have now is the front has moisture in them and they lost the really clear look. The piaas i have in the clears use to shine bright blue/white to match my HIDs, now the clears are giving me a hint of yellow/white and it looks dull. I will look at it this weekend and see if i can seal up in leaks or cracks.
Your car look really nice with the clear front. Nice work

Just cut down the plastic around the wires until the light fits in without resistance.
I had trouble with my clears not fitting tightly enough to where they sort of sagged. To fix this I replaced the crappy plastic fasteners with the metal ones from the stock side markers. This keeps them in there really well.
