Ugly orange piece in tail lights and blinkers? Best way to get rid of it? - Page 2 - Honda Prelude Forum

Its really not that hard, just do it urselves guys!!!

When doing the soldering part, i dental flossed sticks of wood to the sides of the iron and that took care of melting plastic parts.
One of the rear tail lights, i used the soldering iron and the other i used a screwdriver and hammer. Both ways are pretty much the same - time wise.

If you are worried about all the orange flakes from drilling...just use an air compressor with a jet nozzle if you have one or rent or use someone's. I did it and I have NO flakes at all and I drilled.

the ones in the reverse???

i put those when i first got the car but who cares, i like em...it might look completly clear without the blue dot there but im too lazy to deal with it...maybe in spring time but im gonna put red bulbs for the signal for sure.

easy

All you have to do is frost the bulbs. First of all...credit goes to Guiddy for first coming up with this method. Its in the FAQ but the long and the short of it is you put a light frosting of silver spray paint over the bulb and from a couple of feet away it looks completely silver but it illuminates amber or blue or whatever color the bulb is. I just did mine like that and it looks awesome.

where do you live in va....i might can work something out w/ you....my mom lives in chesterfield(slightly south of richmond), i could come up one weekend over the next few weeks....that is probably faster than you sending me the money and i send you my cleared tail lights and you send me your uncleared...cost to much in shipping....let me know when....what is your aol instant messanger?

Speaking of Virginia, what are the laws in Virginia regarding clearing turn signals? Thanks.

UZ 2 B AUTO · 02-24-2002, 09:08 PM

in va your turnsignals are suppose to be orange...i go to va frequently to stay w/ my mom and have never been hassled for my hyperwhite turnsignals or my blue side marker lights. but they are "suppose to be orange". if you clear you stock lights and then buy some orange bulbs, then spray paint these bulbs w/ a silver paint you will not be able to tell you have orange bulbs in but they will lights up orange..very nice if you ask me. adn you should have no trouble....seeing that i just got my car inspected w/ clear turnsignal housing and orange bulbs.

I basically drilled a big hole in the orange piece. how do i get the rest out? And I accidentally got water inside my taillight..How do i get out the condensation and water?
