At one time I made some clear tails, the colored plastic won't come off in one piece :lol:

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

It's been since 05'ish that i made the clear tails lol, being so un-experienced, i basically used the plastic that covers floresent light bulbs to wrap around the taillights, they faded, cracked easy, and really didn't work well, but that was due to not building them right

oh ok i was actually thinking of getting sun UV plexi and heating it up enough to mold around a design and then drill holes and attach it to the frame with pins and using colored bulbsIt's Not Much To Look At, But It's Still Funny To See The Look On Their Faces When They Catch Back Up To You At The Next Light!Comment

It would have been cool if they actually made the festiva lenses tinted insted of colored plastic. Scrape the tint off and polish the plastic to a clear state, but unfortunatly no.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

The different colored lenses are all hot melted together. Just do an experiment on a junkyard tail light. Stick it in an oven to soften the hot melt (polyisobutylene) adhesive and then take apart the sections.Comment
