	Clear Lights
		-------
		While removing the amber lens - one light is done, the other is still to come			Front of car with the litronic lights before the amber filter removal
		Yep - just a solder iron to do the trick, steady hand and patience

					A little digital art, comparing the three combinations (silver-vision/paint is similar) - actual photos, cut and pasted. Note the lights are off in all cases.
		Clear, silver-painted, amber and silver-vision bulbs. Notice the silver-vision bulbs on the right - they appear white, like the silver-painted, but they perform as bright as the amber bulbs. These are the only ones to get
					After the amber filter removal with a silver-vision bulb
		After the amber filter removal with an amber bulb
					Without the amber filter, now with the silver-vision bulbs on (blinking)
		Without the amber filter, using silver-vision bulbs.
					Silver vision bulb in sidemarker light.
		Left with silver vision, right with standard orange bulb. Note that the running lights (tail lights) are on on both cars.
					After the conversion - notice how the fog-light position (3rd bulb in bottom row) is lit up with running lights - I made same conversion for both sides.
		Before - the fog-light position is not light (only lights up on driver's side).
					Converted insert - you can see the solder - simple to do.
		Left taillight insert has fog light converted to running light, right insert is still sock (missing bulb and wire not hooked up).
					Comparing 4 options of taillights
		4 Sets of taillights ...
		No trickery - all real pictures
					Picture of rear with silver-vision bulbs
		Close-up of tail light with silver-vision bulb
					They are much brighter than the original lights
		These clear lights I also found - they look very modern
					With the spoiler (sharpened to make lights more visible)
		New look with clear taillights
					Result - without the amber filter
		Earlier on the day on Skyline - with the amber.
