In a word, NO (unfortunately). The investment required to produce the clear equivalent of the 99-spec lenses is huge! I looked into this last year and you'd have to manufacture in the region of 15000 units to make it economically viable. As the 99-spec car was a run-out model you'll never find the owners to sell the stock to.

yeah i just bought a shaved 99 spec bar from coz in the states and im going to clear mine as its only the plastic that is black,the lens is clear

But its a real pain taking them apart :( :(

That pic is from a guy that used to clear them in the U.S,he stopped because its so easy to break the lens

You can get them apart by placing boiling water where the tabs are,lift the tab up gently,and then slowly pry the lens off

The hot water or even a blow dryer or heat lamp is to loosen up the black sticky shit so it will come apart

When u get it apart,simply spray the inside white or silver/chrome and voila,its a clear lens

I want to do mine as the 2k tails are clear,the rear sidemarkers are clear and front side indicators are as well.As i have a black zed,id like it all to match

When i have finished doing it ,ill update on the best technique with a few pix as well

 

 

thanks for the info mate. think i will buy another pair of them just in case it goes pear shaped. lol

here is what the lens looks like on a red zed cleared

Was it difficult to do? Presumbably you had to remove the glass. Any particular paint used?

Very easy to do,remove the fog light lens,rip the glare guard out,and spray the backing with heat proof paint.The fogs light up very well still,and as i changed to hid lights,i put my old 55 watt headlight globes in .With hids,the fog lights really dont do stuff all anyway
