Clear/White Back-up Light Lenses

I was just doing a walk around on my car, admiring the new coils, and noticed how opaque..and...well...UGLY my back-up light lenses are.

Do they make clear ones or whiter bulbs to make them look better?

Sorry to be picky, but that just bugs the out of me!!

Any ideas or links or anything?

Also, this is random question. Do the Downey coils allow you to carry more weight in the trunk? Trailer? Sorry, that just popped into my head. Thanks guys!

I have not seen any clearer back up lenses than whats on mine right now. But I did the back up lighting mod installing a set of white light fog lamps that take all of the focus on the back up lamps putting on those bright fog lamps. I mounted them below the bumper and they look good. Just my 2cents

I'm planning on spraying mine with some candy black paint so that they blend in with my black 4runner. I've been meaning to do it for a while I just haven't had time. The paint will still allow light to shine through but I have fog lights back there due to my 5% tint in back so I'm not worried about how much light shines through. Just enough to keep me legal is okay with me.

Check out this link in maintenance. I'm not exactly sure this is what you are talking about...
