ok.....got my all clear outers for my 96 now how do i make them half red half clear the right way.

 

Open them up and paint them red on the bottom.

 

i suggest u buy VANS red taillight spray and you spray paint the inner lense (lense facing out the taillight and not towards the car).. the lense that i'm talking about is when you look at the opposite of the tail, that's where the bulb is closest too. spraypainting the outside of the tail probably won't come out as nice.

i think the VANS spray is made in Japan and it costs $30, but from what I heard, i think that's the best quality spray that will make your clear/reds come out nice. You could use the cheapo $5 Candy Apple Red can spray at Pep Boys, but I'd figure the VANS is the best to go with. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

 

listen to what maximaxgtr said!!

Vans was used by DavidL when he was making the infamous red/clears

.....and mine still match perfectly 3years later!

Where did you buy your all clears at? I've been searching but can't find them anywhere..

 

yea I want to get those too, where can I get the Vans red spray?

 

i got the lenses from org member "95semax" . he said he had another set...not sure. found the paint @ http://nextcollection.com/index.cfm ...I would like to thank all who have helped, Tommy ...should have pics up soon

 

just wondering what would be the easyiest way to get them open

 

I know at one point Stillen sold them. Not sure if they still do. Worth checking out.

Peace - Chad

 

http://nextcollection.com/html/ORD-A...o-416-none.cfm more direct link to paint. any way i can get ahold of davidL so i dont screw this up

 

give them to me.

 

DavidL7 has seemed to drop off the face of this earth. I think he's driving a Ford Festiva now.

 

so does anyone know where you can buy all-clears at?

 

Stillen has the all clears. They're 216 bucks. Ouch.
Kevin.

 

All clears do not exist in the realm of commercial sales.

 

stillen sells them on their website dude.. go look

 

I looked and I do not see them.. ?

there are the clear bumpers

 

what up bro... i met you tonight at Bald Hill. Anyways if your gonna spray them definitly buy the Vans Taillight paint. Its the same $hit DavidL used on my tails.
It usually costs around $25-30 per can.

ttyl,

Anthony

 

where do u buy this vans taillight paint????

 

thanks ant im Tommy by the way...just cooked them in oven and got them apart. i know im supposed to paint the inner lense but should i paint the bulb side or the side you see..thanks for the help Tommy

 

the bulb side, it will look better.. the outer side painted will look crappy

 

Tom,
you wanna paint the side facing you when you look at them, once the outter shell is off. Then maybe do a light coat on the inner part of the outter shell so you wont have that thinl clear line like mine do.

Ant

 

thanks ant. just gotta find paint now. hopefully you will see me up there next week with them on.

 

Hehehe. You took your lights apart before you even bought the paint? I guess you don't drive around much, or you had an extra set of lights lying around.

 

ummm.... the stock lights are still in the car. cant go a day without hitting 7 grand into second.

 

I hate sites like stillen who provide no picture and yet expect you to pay $216.35 + shipping. Thats ****ing pathetic.

 

Has anyone ever bought clear tails from this company? Whats the deal they are pretty inexpensive compared to stillen.

well, as soon as u get the outer tail shell off, u'll see another inner lense behind that outer tail. I think davidL7 painted the side of the lense which points OUTSIDE the car and not the lense that points to inside of the car. I hope this makes sense, if it doesn't, mayb what i'll do is take a picture of the taillight and show u what i mean.

 

ok, i got bored... anyway, hope this clarifies things...

 

$130, not bad, but has anyone bought from this company?
Do they fit, leak? what's the deal.

 

They say for years 95-98.. so I don't know if its really for 95-96 or 97-99..?

 

hmm, someone should order becuase that is hella cheap!

 

Go ahead and do it.. and if its not for your year then sell them to someone..

 

hey maximaxgtr thankyou for the info/pics. they will be a big help in my great endevor to replace davidL. if i get mine done nice i plan on doing alot more for others and they will be as good if not better than davidLs. i am putting in all my efforts into this including getting the covited vans paint from japan. so as soon as i get the paint "5 to 7 business days" there will be pics up of my creation wether good or bad but i think i will succeed. thanks again to all who have added in info and advice. Tommy

 

I think the reason why it's no longer available is because it's illegal due to the all clear lense. A few years ago, people weren't painting the lense red. Instead, they were using colored bulbs which didn't put out the true red/amber colors. People were getting hassled so much by the law that people just stopped buying them and the market for these all clear lenses had dwindled down.

Anyhow, there's no way I'd pay 2 bills for those.

 

can u show me hte site where u get the vans red paint?????

 

these guys"http://nextcollection.com/index.cfm" sell it but out of stock. I rdered paint from local speed shop East Coast Motorsports in Selden, New York (631) 736-3852

 

Good luck ordering from stillin it will take forever to be shipped......

 

I guarantee you those lights do not exist.
