Clear Tail Lights

[04LEMASS]

Came across these bad boys the other day: http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/4CarOp ... _2/821140/

I want to get them for my 04 silver LE because they will match the clear corners. How do you think they will look? Also i know i will have to get an led red brake light bulb because the lens is no longer red. Will my brake lights be as visible with this?

You would be breaking so many laws by doing this... I wouldn't recommend it

He wouldnt really be breaking any as long as his turn signal bulbs flash amber, and his brake lights light up red he should be fine.

Heres a car that comes with lights like that from the factory



New lexus rx series:



Also check on ebay for them, i believe they might be there for cheaper.

I did a google search and i found a few people who got pulled over for having clear taillights. Maybe i could just get some red reflector tape and just put a small strip on the side or something,thats what someone did with their dakota. They are 115$ on ebay which with shipping works out to be about the same

The problem is that you will be eliminating the RED Reflector with in the light assembly then you will have to buy whole new set of bulbs for stop and signal.
The 2 cars you see on the pictures if you look on the bumpers you will see that they both have red lenses which are either on at night with the lights or they are straight reflectors.

We still have red reflectors in our bumpers....

Your QX4 is '96? I thought they came out in 1997?

They lie, it saids 96 on the ID plate on door frame lol

They lie, it saids 96 on the ID plate on door frame lol

That's a manufacture date. The model year is probably still 1997

Oh i know that but look, that plate is like a birth certificate right, it was put together in 96 there for it should be a 96 and not 97 that's why they lie on the year, says 97 on tittle but car was born in 96 LOL

"Since 1968 North American regulations also require side-facing retroreflectors, amber in front and red in the rear."

I got pulled over for clear corners...just a warning

If there is an accident and you are found at fault and they find out your car was missing said items... you better have a good paying job.
Having said this I do like to look of those lights and I think you should get them!

Its not a matter of the color its the lack of a side reflector.
