i just did my bad set of 90-91 db1 tails…just bleach, let sit in 3 different position to get the WHOLE light about 12hrs each…didn’t take gasket or anything off… now i fucked up my JDM 90-91 tails by trying to heat up the plastic and get to the freaking silicone…so gay…i used a heat gun too…may just bake them if i can do that correctly, otherwise i’m slapping some silicone back under the plastic and C-clamping the light & just puring bleach into them…pretty pissed… ---

i have 4 90-91 tail lights and tried to bleach all 4. only 2 came out clean while the other 2 still are a bit pinkish. the gay thing is that the ones that came out clean were both the driver side tail lights. i guess i’m gonna rebleach the passenger ones again today and see if i get better results. ---

bleach works just fine, i guess don’t use that cheap shit! use non-diluted bleach & let it sit for about 8 hours & i guarantee it will dye the pink lines white…so maybe you’re adding water to your bleach, maybe your using cheap bleach, or mabe you’re not letting it sit long enough… ---

im guessing i didn’t leave them soaking long enough. i just don’t get why the driver side tail lights turned white so fast. ---

I think sometimes it has to do with how much the car sat out in the sun compared to a garaged car. More sun baked tail lights would probably turn white easier. But I don’t know why one side more than the other. Mine both turned white really easily. They were tail lights that a car sat out side, lenses were kinda dull looking too so I wet santed them down and clear coated them ---

JDM1nt2B- valid point but anyways…I left them in there so long because i put bleech in them at night, then fell alseep…as easy as that. So 8 hours worked just fine, since I was in no hurry ---

did the same job with the Super Clean. Each light came out very clean. TO help the draining of the water, I drilled a hole from the bottom end where it curves. ![](http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/7674/p1010049nw5.jpg) ![](http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/5803/p1010045uv3.jpg) ---

^^ Damn looks awesome! About drilling holes in the housing… wouldn’t condensation get in there and cloud up your lights? I hope you sealed the holes back up with some sealant. ---

Not only will the tails leak, you will get a ton of water in your trunk and it may cause things to rust out. Just not a good idea. ---
