believe me the turbskis and pie cuts were phat on them jonnies

“Every motor vehicle […] shall be equipped with at least one tail light mounted on the rear which, when lighted, shall emit a red light visible from a distance of five hundred feet to the rear, provided that in the case of a train of vehicles only the tail light on the rearmost vehicle need be visible from the distance specified” Nothing stated about red appearance of tail light when unlit. Sounds like you didn’t bother to watch the video all the way through; the most critical part of making clears is swapping to red bulbs so you maintain red light output for running and braking. Signal and reverse remain amber and white. If anything, my rear visibility might have improved because I switched to LED which are even brighter and more vibrant than the OEM white halogen diffused through a colored lens. Don’t know how you could possibly confuse them for headlights when they’re literally red. So many cars come from the factory with clear tail lights nowadays so no its not illegal

@@nateperez9399common sense isn’t so common these days.

I think technically you could but the tails are different shapes. I believe the 12s go down lower towards the bottom of the trunkline while 13-15 flattens out so youd either need to swap bumpers or have a big gap under the 13-15 tail. But ive never seen anyone run refresh tails on a 12 without a full rear conversion

Like where did you buy the lens from😭😊

Theres a custom tail light video on a 2012 out there and i believe the bulbs and bowls are all exposed (vs that secondary C-bar lens structure here on the 13-15). But since there are no clear lenses, oem nor aftermarket, to my knowledge for 12s the lens would have to be custom made

@@nateperez9399 ahhh thank you man I appreciate the tip! Loving the car btw too!

@@TooMuchHennyy thank you bro i appreciate it!

From what i could tell, no. Looks to be mold-in-color so you can’t just wipe away any red coating

I got em new in box secondhand but you can get eagle eyes i think on ebay or a bunch of other websites, like $200 ish?

They dont make standalone clear lenses for sedans but they do for coupes. Otherwise you have no choice but to either buy eagle eyes to cut up or make your own lenses via vacuum form or resin mold or whatever works

@@nateperez9399so where did u get the rear refuser? Link please

Thank you man. If i cant find the info out there then I try to be the one to provide it for others in my situation lol i hate bad unclear tutorials on forums and stuff

@@nateperez9399 same man I’ve been wanting to do this since forever now and never seen anyone else have a real clear tutorial for the 9th gen sedan until I seen ur vid

@@GhostSteezz hope it helps brother

Yeah it sucks how the red doesnt really fill the bar when its really bright out since its still just a reflector bowl. but honestly from directly behind for the most part it looks pretty much oem and you cant even tell its clear until you look from the side. Im already thinking about a full LED retrofit with sequentials and stuff once i learn how

it probably looks like both strips are powered by the signal at the end but it's just that the strips are pretty close together and in the same housing. so when the signal strip is illuminated the entire housing lights up (if that answers your question). It would have been nicer to do something that better separated the two functions (e.g. side-by-side instead of top and bottom) but space was limited and I wasn't too concerned about it

its all i had in the garage and I was too lazy to go out and get more haha

The axle was just a threaded rod with a hollow rod slid over it with just enough room on the ends to screw nuts and washers on. PVC larger than the holes drilled in the wheels was placed in between the wheels to keep them from sliding inward. Didn't bother to put in bearings or anything haha

Nate Perez thx
