the LED's in the spoiler light are already red... meaning if you use a clear lens... they will still be nice and red. Its not illegal cause there is no reflector there that you would be changing the color of and the light remains red.

you can buy a spoiler replacement LED Strip(i dunno know its official name) and they sell for about $60-75 bucks i think, which come in clear or red lenses with red LEDS.

The LED's are red to begin with... meaning if you take the lens off, and step on the brake... the strip will still be red... even without the lens... putting a clear lens on is gonna make them brighter because there is no extra color to dim the light.

the supra 3rd brake light is street legal, and it is clear (i have one too on my accord )

off the top of my head, i kno that many late model volvos have clear 3rd brakelights too.

btw, wingswest offers them as an option on most of their spoilers
