Crx Altezza Tailight Conversion
I bought a set of Clear lens Altezza's for my Crx. I wasn't really happy with the way they looked and I began to understand why everyone HATES them. Then it rained one day and I noticed water was inside and it was fogged up. I was pissed. I called the place I got them from and they said it was the Car that was leaking and not the lights and they wouldn't replace them. I was so mad I went outside grabbed a hammer and smashed the shit out of the lenses. I then proceeded to remove all the glass and do a Hell of a lot of bondo'ing and sanding. Here's what they look like now. the only problem is I scratched the red lenses pretty badly. is there Anyway to repair them? or should I just live with it? Or do they still look like shit? should I sell them and go with the stock lights?

no DOT stamping. if a light is mounted to a vehicle, it must have a DOT/SAE approval number on the lens. they are not made on the interior parts, only on the external cover.
you could, however, do the same thing with round light cartridges such as ones i use on trucks and it be legal. they are LED also
