I did mine, but i used the Stock tail lights but removed the coloured lenses in sids.
Not a job to be taken on lightly, or without a spare set of tail lights.

I have to agree, i'm glad i bought a second pair of lights, one turned out absolutely faultless, and the other one, well lets just say i don't think mr ford wanted to be able to seperate the lense from the housing, i cracked it in so many places, there was no way this was coming apart cleanly. Any way, i'll put them on and try and make another one off my original lense, maybe hit it with a heatgun to soften the glue up a bit. I'll post pics when there done.

Much easier to buy them. These are new ones not modified ones!

Agreed, much easier to buy already clear ones but i just wanted a clear indicator not the whole thing clear, it gives it a nice, neat, yet different factory look. Not that the clear ones dont look alright, it would just look wierd on a completely white car. I put my modified ones on today and it looks sweet, but up close you can see the passenger side one is cracked, you dont notice it whilst driving tho so it can stay on there till i make another one, My camera stopped working so now i have to find another way to put pics on my computer. Sorry will post them as soon as i can find or borrow another digital camera.
