NO it cannot be done. The red is molded in. It's not behind a smoked cover like on the TA lights.

I've seen 1993-1997 Firebird taillights with the red lenses removed. Its the 1998-2002 Firebird taillights where the red lens is integrated. Maybe someone who's actually done it can chime in.

Buy some ricer lights. Those have clear lenses on em. Maybe you can combine the stock backs with the ricer clear fronts?

I was hoping for the same answer as you, since I bought a pair of early 4th gen tails.

Even still, they're way better than the LS1s with random lines and amber.

This sounds like an interesting idea. My problem with LEDs is that they don't show up very well in daylight, as opposed to the traditional bulbs. Anyone wanna stand up for LEDs?
