I installed some clear ones 2 years ago, no leaks or fogging up problems, got them from
http://www.stangmods.com/Clear-Turn-...ng-p/00622.htm
I also bought the stealth bulbs at the same time

you could always smoke out your oem ones like i did! lol

the set above is self-tinted oem and the bottom pair is aftermarket smoked pair...considerable difference...



self-tinted oem installed... (love em!)

For darker cars, I think clear looks better than smoked.

As with Partsbill, I would recommend Stangmods... but it is a bit cheaper to get their package kit as it includes 4 Stealth bulbs and the new clear corners http://www.stangmods.com/Mustang-Cle...ge-p/00731.htm

How 2 install them yourself: (With out jacking up the car or removing the bumper)

1. (Drivers side) turn your steering wheel all the way to the right. This will allow you access to the front splash guard that will have to be removed.

2. Remove screw and screw/snap plugs that hold the splash guard on. Should be about 5 that need to come out.


3. Then slide the splash guard out, you should now be able to see your front turn signal. Twist to remove the light bulbs from the turn signal and just let them hang.

4. You will see a 2 white plastic parts that holds the turn signal inplace. Just pinch them with your fingers so you can pop the turn signal off and then slide the whole turn signal out.

5. Repeat this for the other side but turn the steering wheel in the other direction.

To re-install your turn signals:

If you take a look at the signal you will see that at the front end of the signal there is a rased notch. This notch fits into a hole/slot on your bumper and is what holds the front end of your signal on. Make sure you insert this first before you snap the rear part back on the 2 white plastic parts.

Here is a picture of the smoked lenses from Stangmods with the chrome bulbs. The install wasn't too bad. The only issue I had was snapping the inside part of the lens into place.

It was the first mod I did. I'm no mechanic but these were very easy. Its a little tight in some places trying to remove the lenses but well worth the effort.

Got black with the stealth bulbs, didn't install them myself but the shop didn't charge me so it must have been easy.

I would check Ebay out for the clear or smoked lenses. I got mine (clear) for $47.99 shipped and got the bulbs from autolumination.com for around $23 (including shipping if I remember correctly). For the install I used this write up : http://stangmods.blogspot.com/2008/0...tang-turn.html

Really easy and cleans up the front end nicely. Since this is my first post havent figured out the picture posting thing yet but I have a vista blue stang and I'm sure you've seen plenty of those pics already. Hope that helps a bit.
