How to Clear Bumper Lenses
not the fanciest but they do the job and they are not yellow

Materials Needed
   1/8" Clear Plexi-glass
    1/8" Fluorescent light diffuser
    1/4" White Plexi-glass
    Plexi-glass cement and syringe applicator
    Plexi-glass Knife
    Belt sander or file (sander will make life easy)
    Thin double sided tape
    Clear silicone

Directions
1. Cut 1/8" clear plexi, 1/8" diffuser, and 1/4" white plexi into 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" strips you will need one of each                  for every light you intend to make.

2. Use plexi cement to glue 1/8" diffusers smooth side to the plexi using the syringe applicator being careful not to use to much cement or it will mark the plexi. Hold tight till the glue sets it will take only a  few seconds

3. Next Drill a hole in the center of  the white 1/4" plexi about 5/16"

4. Now glue the rough side of the diffuser to the white plexi and hold till dry

5. With the lenses assembled you need to round the corners to match thefactory lights.  Tape the new lenses and traced the factory light pattern to the new light.  I used a belt sander to round the corners and smooth out the sides.

6. Next I used the plexi glue to glue the back of the factory lights to the white plexi so I could lock the factory sockets in and be able to change the bulbs if needed.  If you don't want to cut he factory lights up like I diin't you can use  2- 20oz soda bottle caps and cut the top so the light socket would fit in and silicone them to the white plexi over the hole and silicone the light and socket into that and set for the day to dry. I got a set of backs from someone else and changed them later.  Then I applied a thin double sided tape to the back so I would not have any screws.

I have the sockets cut from the factory lights coming soon and I will them remove the silicone and plexi cement those to the back for a more workable light in case the bulbs burn out but if you can't get them the silicone is invisible with the lights in place.

7. The last step is to plug in the light sockets and remove the backing from the tape them stick them in place.

NO MORE UGLY YELLOW
