Yeah thats bluelex. Well me and josh figured a way to cut out the 2001 orange lights with a very fine cutter, but to fill it in and it look as good, well i just dont think it will happen.

I'm not quite sure what is that makes JP "whiter" since I can' t see the inside? Have you tried painting the inside white, using mirrors or reflective tapes...........?

2. You'll need to find a way to remove the lense from the housing if you just want to cut through the lense. A laser cuts through EVERYTHING in its path. JP cuts the lense with a laser BEFORE the tails are assembled for the very first time. Everyone else has to un-glue the lense before they can cut it with a laser.

Please don't take my comments as discouraging negativity. I'm just into providing a reality check.

Sounds like you haven't seen a real JP in person. The JP lense is just clear, so you can see inside the chrome housing, the bulb, everything without any obstruction.

Just thought that I threw in the laser cutter to maybe help blue out if he ever wanted to do mass fast cutting
Nope, never seen a jp tail, barely 1 or 2 gs with even l-tuned sides

What could you do with the 3 axis that needs cutting for?
