If you search TIF, you'll find a Soarer which has rear lights which are entirely clear....as I recall, the owner sourced then from Japan..... there was a bit of a debate about whether they were strictly legal

I have this info, but it is massively expensive, and probably not worth it...

Yep the clear rear lights are very expensive or you can try to see Japan Yahoo got them:

http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/searc h?sb=desc&desc=%a5%bd%a5%a2%a5%e9&auccat =0&acc=jp&apg=1&f=0x52&o1=a&alocale=0jp& mode=1

Use http://www.google.com.au/language_tools? hl=en

for translations..

if you find anything you want, you can ask Jeff Harper to get them for you :-)

Yes, very nice people, BUT if I recall correctly these are NOT legal for "On-road" use in some, if not all states in Australia.
(There was a discussion re this very subject in the ALSC archives (Now accessible via here).

However the GOOD news is, they're perfectly legal in.......NEW ZEALAND.....Yay us

aslong as you have a red reflector on the back of your car..apparently it should be legal..unless there is a fine print in all of that, that i havent heard of!

The same is true for the UK. Legally I am required to have a red reflector somewhere on the back.

I of course do not as it would look crap.

I just drive with the running lights on during the day as the red bulbs seem to be doing the trick as I have not been stopped for them.

999 Automotive in Brisbane is selling a pair of these clear lights to suit the Soarer.

I saw them a couple of months ago, they kinda looked like they were made using that fluro light covering plastic, they were about 300 from memory.

If you are really keen, check out their site and send em an email perhaps.

Hi guys, sorry for bringing back an old thread. But I've happen to come across a set of '97-00 rear lights on eBay.

Hope someone from here picks it up

The price looks OK, Eddie, at first glance. We paid USD140 recently for one new light (we already have a '97) however, that came with complete plug 'n' play loom and globes (luckily, because they are all wedges). So these ones are expensive, in the end. The fact they're in Taiwan isn't reassuring, either:-)

Of course postage and duty was on top of the $140, for ours.

Has anyone here tried replacing the lens? I have seen the lens alone on EBay, but not much cheaper than a whole taillight.

IMO the Japanese lights aren't much better looking than the early model lights. The '94-'95 and the '96 and on are nice. The Clear Corners ones are superb, but they're also $2000+ a set!

hey guys and gals

was looking at the tail lights on that black soarer, and i was thinking they look like prelude tail lights from a 1999-2002 (i think but) they look like they have been turned up side down.
and modified, could this possiably be an easier way??


sorry it is the only picture i could find
