clear taillights

just wondering if there are any websites that sell clear tail lights for a 1990. if not clear then any other tail lights that change the look, other than the S5s (i believe).

your out of luck... clears were discontinued many years ago and no other form of tail light exist besides s4, s5 and custom s5


why would you want different tail lights anyways... ive never understood the concept... most/all just end up making your car less attractive.

All I can think of were the ones on the Sexy Style FC...

None are readily commercially available these days, and if you CAN find something on eBay, it's rare and will go for upwards of what s5 tails go for.

A search of eBay showed several s5 tails, a few s4 tails, and stock FB/SA tails, and a variety of stock and aftermarket tails for FDs. but NO aftermarket tails for FC.

Why don't you try to make something, yourself? There'd probably be a market for it in the people who want to rice out FCs. Honestly, you could make money with tails like that after F and F 4 comes out, I'd bet.

ok so ive got the materials, the tail lights, (88 mercury cougar), and two designs, (mazda, and the rotor). im gonna practice making a smoked tail light, with the rotor designs over the two round tail light bulbs. then one with the mazda symbol. im trying to get info about who might want to buy some in the near future, once i get good at making them i will post pictures and prices ans things like that. any ideas of a design or a type or coloring (white for the 10th ann.), and different things like that are more than welcome. im really gonna try to get this thing started. ive got 1000 dollars in the bank and if i can make them fairly cheap, and theres a high enough demand for them, them i will invest that money into starting a small buisiness. please get back to me with any more info. thanks
