Side Indicators in Guards - removing Lens

[Shady 0]

Just wondering if anyone would know how to remove the orange Lens from the case part? I was thinking of removing the Lens so I can have a go and see if I can some how remove the orange colour & make them Clear (just give it a try, if looks gay will just buy new originals). So anybody know how I can remove the Lens from the casing? For my '88 E30 F/L.

Pretty sure they are glued in, how are you going to take the orange out? they are moulded orange plastic

I have one I can check soon, I have none on my car hehe.

*edit*

Yep they are glued on, Bend it til the lens starts to lift up and pry it off with a flat head..

You can't make them clear. They are orange plastic as Nathan points out.

Clear sides are like $40. Just buy some.

Was trying to save $$$ bro, until I can afford the real thing was going to try boogy stuff up to "look" like it. But all good. Will save up some $ and go buy the Smoked versions off Trademe (only one guy I can find in NZ that can get every a/m light for the E30). Not going to buy the smoked tails until next year-ish when I start going hardout in it (gotta sell my Honda Inspire to raise some funds)....I got alot to do...click my link in my Sig, you'll see my nice LONG list lol cheers
