Default Taillights

Hey guys

I dont know what year es300 it is but, The taillights are clear in the middle where the amber is supposed to be. My question is if I didnt want to go through the hassle of trying to put my taillights in the oven and trying to scrape the amber off can I just paint over the amber with paint. Would the paint even show up because of the amber? thanx Club_es

They came clear in the 2000+ up models if I'm not mistaken...

What year ES do you have? Some have taken the oven route and cleared out the amber in the tails, just like the headlights. I read that it's a bit more tedious though, and more fragile as well. Use the search button for more info...

Send a PM to The_Hitman about clearing the amber strip on the tailights. He's done it to his '95 ES.
