cleared tail lights
Just cleared the rear lights. Left the top on in because I can't find a red replacement bulb. The middle is only amber from the flash.
What do you guys think? I think it matches the white better then the candied red.

The lens are just snapped together with a rubber gasket in between. didn't even have to do the oven method or anything.
I used a couple a flathead screwdrivers. at least on small and one extra wide.
I started with the side top clip and pried the housing over the lens. then used the small screwdriver to keep in from popping back in, i did the top on next. now with both out, you can start from the corner and slowly work your way down the side with the wide screwdrivers and the small one to press the clips down. the last 2 at the bottom just pop out when you get the sides off.
the red lens just pull off. they are not attached to well.
next just make sure the gasket is still good and snap it back together.

If you can leave the red cap over the brake light, this would take care of the "illegal" part since law says the rear just has to be red while operating.
Thinking about fabricating some city lights for the back, or angel eyes that go around the edge of the housing. So the cap can be removed.

Yeah, same here in WA. I just looked it up. Cool that we have the Revised Code of Washington online 
For anyone that's interested:

Although, according to this, it doesn't necessarily have to be your tail lights that have the red reflectors.
