After viewing a thread where people were removing the amber lens from their JDM Hatch tail lights, I decided to do it as well. I have a Coupe with Curren tails. Here's the before and after:
![]() They look so much cleaner. I hope I don't get stopped by a cop because they have nothing better to do around here than to stop you because of a clear turn signal. And I believe I'm the first person on here with the clear curren tails? -------------------- ![]() |

Thanks for the positive comments. Well, I don't think they'll get damaged at all. All the guys with the hatch Celi haven't had any problems and they cut through the plastic as well, I believe. That's where I got the idea from. It was very easy to do after the first tail. Because the problem is that you at first don't know where the amber lens is located. It's a weird shaped piece and a little difficult to pull out. I'll post step by step how I did it tomorrow morning. I don't have my camera with me now and I suck at explaining things. So that'd be best. To sum it up, it's just a dremel with a disc to cut plastic. The one I used was actually to cut metal, but that's fine too, just make sure the disc is as thin as possible so that the cut is thin as possible so theres no issues when you seal it back up. You cut the bottom of the light where the turn signal is located. REMEMBER to remove the bulb and plug from the socket before you use the dremel. Lol. Once that's done you yank the amber lens out, and simply silicone the cuts so no water gets in or anything. Like I said, I'll post pics tomorow because I can't explain instructions if my life depended on it.
