Default Can I make clear tail lights??

I was wondering if I could make my stock tail lights into clears. I was wondering and please don't laugh because I am pretty sure there is not a way but I was curious and wanted to know if there is a way to make the amber color to come off the lens. Or is the color made into the plastic??

to be honest, i don't think it's possible without doing something permanent (and bad) to the unit - the only way is if there are 2 "sleeves" - one amber, one as a clear sleeve - but even then you would have to find another outer "sleeve" - make sense?

Amber plastic all the way through. Check Turner Motorsports. They usually have good prices on the factory clears.
