I know they have been done before and sold and whatnot, but does anyone know how they got it clear, or what was done? I have been tossing around an idea for a few weeks now that I am going to try.... Plus try to get a hold of some cheap tail light to try it on.

 

I removed the inner lenses on mine....

looks ok to me

 

Do you have any pictures? When you removed the len's, I take it that it was trhe red/yellow part you removed and you got red/yellow bulbs for replacement?




(Can you tell I have never taken a tail light apart from an rx? )

 

pics xlr?

 

Nvm, found a link:

Comes apart very very easy with a heat gun

Yes, I will replace the bulbs with colored ones and thats it

 

Thanks Xlr8. I wonder if there is anyway to get rid of the reflector, or maybe I am going to have to find a way to get formed plastic...

 

Well, you're going to need to keep the reflector in order for the flash of your bulbs to be emitted outward for others to see them like normal brake lights.

 

The reflector on the outside plastic, for DOT purposes. I was going to move that but now I have another Idea. I swear, I get about 3-4 ideas throughout the day for the 7... I should start writing them down.

 

Oh, you meant that little red square in the lens? Yeah, that is annoying to look at with modified/clear lenses.

 

Yeah. I will look around the internet/phone book to see what my options are.

 

would be nice with some LED bulbs...

 

make it like kouki's like the fc's.
that would look sick!

 

I soon will be clearing my tails...adding LED bulbs...then im niteshading the whole thing except for the reflectors

 

Never seen those. Are those like the round style S5?

 

If you wanna shade them use VHT paint and do it on the inside part. That way the reflector still works as it should

 

Agreed...should look pretty good dont you think?

 

Or use CandyPaint. I did that on the Protege's rear lights on the back. Pitch black, but when the lights turned on or when I braked/turned/reversed, it shown through like stock. No LED lights neither.

 

Yeah im going to use VHT's niteshade paint with some nice LED's....i will make sure i take pics of the work and final product on the car once i get around to doing it.

 

It should

I gotta polish mine first, the are pretty abused and it shows.

 

one of mine is cracked lol....and the colored lenses are all faded so tahts why im doing this mod and then niteshading the whole thing. My tails are probably the most ugly stock tails on an rx7 lol

 

I do the S5 style lights but they have the colored lense. I've thought about doing some sets with the clear diffused lense that some guys have done and tinkering around without the lense and what not. And yeah I really want to get rid of the reflector as well

 

Could you pop the little reflective square out and replace it with a more transperant peice of decoration... like a little plastic square with an opaque mazda symbol or rotor?

 

i have a spare taillight without a lens so i'll screw around with that to see what i can come up with, maybe colored bulbs, and some smoked plastic? idk we'll find out
