Default DIY red/clear tail lights guide?

I'm sure there used to be one on here, but I can't find it for the life of me?

Anyone know where it is?

What is it you are trying to do? Eliminate the red reflectors? Illegal here in the States, have to look at the Euro laws to know about the other side of the pond! But most probably! One of the threads you are referring to indicated the "red" portion is added into the clear lens and can be pried out. {Always been a big one on helping others break the law! (lol)]

Not trying to elimiate the reflectors, I just want to know how they come apart (well, where to cut).

Now that I look again at your OP, are your talking about your tail lights or side marker lamps and reflectors? Your title says "tail lights"? And if it is the tail lights I have never seen a post here, nor would have any idea why you would want to separate the lenses. Can you fill me in?

the rear lights - the ones with the brake and idicator lights in them.

I just want to experiment with them.

Okay. Don't have a clue! Haven't seen a thread! Probably is one around here somewhere, always someone who can do it better than the designers and engineers! Sorry I can't help!
