Making clear corners

I was just thinking maybe acetone or something would eat through the paint making clear corners (turn signals) instead of buying replacements that are expensive. Do you think that would work or eat through the plastic??? Does anyone think i'm on to a good idea or just stupid?

The plastic lens are not painted. The color is imbedded throughout the plastic.

I got clear corners from E-BAY for $18. Brand new for my 95 model.

Some solvents will also fog the plastic.

Yeah, the clear corners really aren't that expensive on eBay, and they come in OEM-style replacements as well as the euro styles. I bought the OEM-style replacements and should get them in soon, I'll post pics when they're installed.
