those are from a 92-95 gt and they can easily be removed for teh housing

[red98grandamse]

yea 92-95 have 2 sets of stock tails, GT and SE tails. the red lenses in the GT tails ONLY can be removed, and the SE tails cannot be cleared...

theres a few how to's floating around to bring up enough info for you to try it yourself. Search for something like cleared GT tails. That will come up with info about 99+ GT tails as well, but the procedure is basically the same. That pair off ebay is a pair that someone made and are selling for themself.


I just double-checked that auction, thats only the outter cover for the tail light, thats NOT the entire housing anyways. so even if you bought those, youd have to take the cover off yours tails and silicone that cover to your inner housing. Ive never seen just the cover come up for sale like that though :???:

not to mention I don't even think it would work in your application on the SE tails.

DIY Clear Taillights - 92-95 GT Models Printer-Friendly Version

Tools Required
Screwdriver
Paint Scraper




Parts Required

Step-By-Step Instructions
Open trunk and remove the 4 screws that secure the taillight to the car.
Disconnect the power cable.
Using the flat-blade paint scraper, start at one end and carefully pry around the outside edge of the lens, where the two halves are secured. You will hear cracking sounds, however, as long as you take your time and be patient, you will eventually separate the two halves. It is best to start at the rounded bottom edge.
Once you have the two halves separated, simply remove the red reflective piece.
Place halves back together, clamping them to ensure a good seal. Allow the silicone to dry for at least 12 hours.Install the new 3357 red bulbs.
Reinstall the taillight, ensuring that you reconnect the power cable.

Gt lens will fit an se housing no problem. I did it on mine. My gt housings had broken bolts and were letting water into my trunk.

lol, I think to put it more aptly, Ive never seen anyone post them ion here before. I don't exactly have a need to look up early 4th gen parts on ebay :-p Those do however cut down on some work needed for that mod.

[Big Joe]

^ yeah but really who types in 4th gen parts. I usually hit just grand am and see what comes up. So by that reasoning they would come up :D I dont like hitting things by year cause not everything has a year listed on it you know what I mean?
