I saw what was required to take out that light, and just used some leftover film from the tinted taillights I had on another car.

Does anyone know if I’d be able to replace the red lens with a clear one? If so where would I get a clear lens or how would I be able to make one?

Has anyone had problems reinstalling the 3rd brake light back in? I followed up the write up to remove it and it worked great. However when installing it back I find that the 2 outer corners of the red lens dont sit flush with the tailgate/hatch. Is as if it stretch out?? Its weird. Can anyone help?
