rear light question??

[fafrumlosin]

ok i am having a debate with a worker about this...if you take the light/lens from a vehicle an put it in...bleach for two weeks will or can it change colour??say turn into a clear light??? i say no he insist otherwise an says he has seen it done

[zodiaque]

Depending on the lens you can wipe off the colour on the inside with acetone, but no,I don't think bleach would work

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

bleach weakens the plastic and the sun will finish crack it up ..melt it etc....forget the bleach!

fafrumlosin.....u looking for a cheap way to get clear lights?

[Jian]

^^^lol, i was actually thinkin off SCRAPIN off de orange in my side indicators to get dem clear

If dat even possible at least..... bobbys in d bamboo have clear indicators $150 for the pair though. Dont see why i shoudnt be able to change the exiisting orange plastic to white.....

Somebody shed some light here...... is this possible?

[zodiaque]

^ I take it you meen side markers, nah, think you better off buying the clear ones, they also have a better "crystal" look , if you into that.
An alternative is to put full orange indicators, the ones up front. This would be japan spec and also has a tendancy to make the car look newer asthetically. Thas just my opinion.

[adam_ant_tt]

local lancers have clear indicator housing in front.
roro lancers most have it orange.
personally i find it kills from the cars appearance with the orange housing.

do not use the bleach u will make matters worse..

how much u bet btw?

[Jimbo]

on most cars the actual plastic is that color so no it will not work, i dont know of any cars that just uses a decal or paint to give the light its color. its like putting a sprite bottle in bleach.... its gonna stay green!

[adam_ant_tt]

^^ POINT!

[plex]

if you cannot get it clear, why not get them smoked..

I think they might get brittle and friable if left in the bleach too long.
