Dont have em yet but will be getting them this christmas to continue the blue and black theme. Some people have the clears with the blue but im sure the blacks will look better. I say do it up!

Additionally, the member "ruski0suka3" here, has a vista stang with either tinted lamps or the ones from american muscle, I cant tell, but check his profile for pics in the album. Either way I think it looks good.

Mine are pretty much like that except mine has a small reflector on the side.

I think I'm going to go ahead and try them. If I don't like 'em, I can always return them!

They're on sale right now at American Muscle for 69.99. I just bought a pair! I'll post some pics once they're installed.

I have seen them. If you are going to go with those turn signals, you need to get xenon bulbs. Also, inorder to install them, you need to take off the front bumper. I would just recommend blacking them out like mine.

You don't need to remove the bumper to install. I just installed a pair (of the clear/chrome, not dark, but same difference) on my redfire last night.

There's an ok write-up of the install process here - http://stangmods.blogspot.com/2008/0...tang-turn.html

A few tips from my experience that differs, though -

1. Jack the car up and remove the wheel on the side you're working on, rather than trying to do this with the wheels turned all the way - there's just not enough room to work well if the wheel is still on). This will make it far easier to remove the wheel liner, which you must do to access the clips holding the stock signal on (I tried first by getting at it underneath with the car on ramps, but the wheel liner blocked the signal - it does have to be removed; there are 3 screws holding it to the front bumper and a plastic screw holding it to the frame higher up. After that, use a small crowbar or something similar to lever the liner out from behind the body).

2. Use needle nose pliers to pinch the clips. It helps to also use a small crowbar or similar tool to get under the plastic where the pinch clips are and wedge it up as you pinch the clips - this is easier and more effective than reaching around the front and pushing.

3. Pretty self-explanatory after that, but one final tip: when you're putting the new signal in, on the inside edge (nearest the grille), there's a tab that goes into a slot. The tab is curved. In order to get the tab in correctly, to push the signal far enough that the holes find the pinch clips, you have to go in at a pretty steep angle, which requires pushing the wheel liner out pretty far.

The whole thing involves a bit of wrestling, but its relatively easy. For me, the first one took about an hour and the second one took about 20 minutes.
