    there just faded stock taillights

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      Sure about that? There is no color difference at all between the amber and clear areas. Look clear to me.
      (Also, notice the pic on the right in the CL add, is photo taken from the internet.)

                  Yep, got the cleared out ones on my car as well. You can still see some of the orange on the edge if you look real close

                    The one on the left side of my car looks like that, so I have one clear and one amber. I'd be more than happy to trade you the clear one for an amber so mine will match (it annoys the crap out of me every time I look at it..LOL)

                    I can post a pic of it if you're interested.

                            Fading is usually a function of UV rays from the sun bleaching out the color. This may be a niche market for you though. Maybe you should lay a couple of sets out in the sun so you can sell then as "clears"
