| Does anyone know where i can find a clear tail light lens for my 96 riv? I really like Turtles pic but i think that it was done on photoshop? Is there any other options to get rid of the red lens? I also like the clear cornering lenses. Thanks for your help. | |

| You can't go out and buy one, there's no aftermarket for us. Doesn't turtle have the sequential tail lights in his sig? I don't recall any clear tails. His sequentials are real, btw. | |

| I'll have to take another look next chance I get. Don't know how you'd clear them though, the material is tinted, not coated, I'd think. | |

| Sorry I just looked at your PM texas. The clear tail lens is just a photoshop. I wish I could do it. Like Dave said, the lens its self is a tinted plastic so I do not know of any practical way to get it clear. I thought the clear tail lens they have on some of the older (like early 90's coupe) regals looks pretty nice so I asked Corey to photoshop it for me. | |

| well since there is no possible way to get clear lenses, what else can i do to spice up the outside of my car? my paint is a flawless diamond white, i just want to turn more heads. Or what about buying another tailight could i tint or smoke one and just swap them out occasionally or would that not work either? I need some help. Thanks | |

Dark tint is a good match with the white paint. You could paint the rocker panels to match, debadge her and lower her an inch or so with Eibach springs. . | |

Last time I priced a decent tail light from a Riv at the yard, they wanted $200, actually a great deal compared to buying a New one. | |

| Duplicating the car in you sig is all you need to do. Leave the clear lenses for people with no tastes, that should have died when old rednecks started putting them on their beater trucks. | |

| i was thinking if you removed the entire rear lamp assembly and mimic the write up for for installing projectors in the from headlamp assembly. it could possibly work. hell that point you could probably rig it up to where its l.e.d lights instead of the regular light bulbs. of course i would not suggest doing this on your own rea lamps but on an extra set from your local junkyard or off of ebay. jus a suggestion, but i think it would look nice, you know what scratch idea, it's mine.....hahhhhhhhhhhhhahahhahahahahha | |

| Sorry my friend, all good things must come to an end. The well is dry. The well is dry. Search elsewhere for your water. | |

| I think its a stock tail light assembly. The red looks clear because its in black and white. | |

| It could fool you. Fooled me in that pic.
I'm happy with tinted tails honestly. With a red car, I'd just put a little tint on the tails to make them burgundy. Looks great on Regals. | |
