You can't, they're colored plastic.

Basically what Nametakenow said. You won't be able to modify your stock ones but they may make aftermarket ones on eBay or something. I know they have some for the B15 even though the old clear tails (not Altezzas) are illegal to have on a road driven car.

Hi,

I've seen zenki and kouki tail lights with clear/white turn signals. I'm not sure how to do it, but i guess you'll have to warm them up and remove the clear plate of the lights and replace the turn signal plate.

I really want clear turn signals on my kouki tail lights

Here's one with zenki tail lights : http://www.jtuned.com/content/...eid=1

Welcome to NICO, Speedy.

First off, if you're looking for car-specific info, you're going to want to head to our 240SX section. The 200SX listed for this area isn't the RWD car you may be thinking of. It's based on the US Sentra (B14) chassis. The US market Silvia is the 240SX sold here from 1989-'94 (S13) and '95-'98 (S14).

240SX/Silvia's have more aftermarket support than US Sentra/200SXs, and, therefore, I think the lights you're talking about are not recolored stock pieces, but actually some aftermarket vendor's light housings.

Thanks,

I'm fully aware that the european 200SX = Silvia and 240SX. I guess I wrote and searched in a rush. However thanks for the info anyway

The aftermarked tail lights for the 240 SX s14 chassis are all ugly. I think i'll have to do it the hard way and open the lights to take a very close look and see if there's any way to get clear turn signals in stock kouki lights.

I suppose it is possible that there is just a film between two layers of plastic.
