bumper indicator?... not exactly sure which one you are reffering to, but you can always get that clear tint spray which makes it black but still transparent...

ask joyride me might know...
he did the USDM treatment to clear the amber out haha

clearing out the bumper lights is different to prying it apart....

how did u clear em out???

[joyride]

well i took off the bumpoer lights from the bumper first of all.
the tools i had was a needle nose plier(s) and a solering iron and a whole day.
inside the bumper lights is an amber coloured piece. all i did was carefully heat the soldering iron and stick it thru the hole, melt the amber piece and distort/break it into pieces.
make sure u dont get the soldering iron to close to the edge of the bumper light housing, or it'll melt.

alternatively, u can buy clear bumper lights at the shop.. for over $150(?) a pair, but i didnt pay a cent for mine.


i found some instructions on how to do it at an american forum over 2 years ago.. if u want i'll look for it for ya
