Which ones? If you are refering the the tails, you can take them apart and remove the colored lenses.

have you looked into the projector conversion kit to do away with the flippy lights? Cp racing but its really expensive and you can make the shoud yourself.

stock headlights. $29.95 each for first gens.

The fronts are really easy to make yourself, just take the orange lenses out from the inside!

The lenses can be clear but the bulbs must be the proper color. ie., front orange, side fron orange, and rear side red bulbs...

I no longer have them in stock. However, the company that makes them need a purchase of 10 sets (that is 10 complete sets for 10 cars) before he will make them again...

So unless we can get 10 committed ( I mean 10 paid sets) he will not do them... I could try talking him down maybe to 5 complete sets...

If you posted up a "group buy", i bet that you would meet the 10 minimum easily.

I'd be in so count me as #2
