the usdm ones are already clear. the jdm ones are orange on the inside.



you should be able to buff/polish them to get them even more clear. similar to the ftp lenses.

just use some meguires plastic x on them with a hand buffer inside and out..that will bring back the white and clear for ya and its quick and easy..best bang for the buck. use it on taillights too especially if ya have s5..

no not on the turn signals..just some hard rubbing will do the trick.for the ftp lenses wetsand them with 3m 2000 grit sandpaper using dish soap and warm water keeping very wet and soapy...do the front and rear of the lights mayb ten min tops to do both lights then dry them(they will be hazy) then use the plastc x and they will be brand new looking no bs...100% better..try it once and you'll be amazed..i sound like im a advertiser or something..pm me for any other details and happy cleaning
