    Hi to All Chemistry Experts & Vehicle Modifying Experts in EK,

    I need to know if there is any special method or chemical to fade the normal rear lights color (Signal & Break Lights) to make them look like Crystal Lights (Clear Lenses) ?


    PS: I know many vehicle signal/break lights fade out their color due to UV exposure and overtime become clear. and now there are after market crystal lights to fit into vehicles.
    but I am just checking if there is any special method instead of buying them separately.

    Thanks

    Nope. But try with some toothpaste. I tested it in headlights. they will not become crystal, but you can make them little bit clear. Don't know exactly about taillights.

    Bro, I know what you are suggesting, if you want to clear your lights Hydrogen Peroxide 6% is the best chemical more than toothpaste. :) it can remove away that cloudy, gritty look on the lights....

    but here what I am trying to do is to find a method to completely remove the original factory paint from the rear lights. something like dipping it in a liquid for hours which will help to remove/fade out the original paint and make it transparent crystal clear. I don't think Thinner or Bleaching Liquid could help it...
