Default Euro clear bumper signal replacement

Has anyone replaced the orange front bumper signal lights with clear Euro replacements? Any instructions would be helpful.

Thanks
05 GT

yes, very easy.........
1) turn wheel out on the side you are working on
2) take off wheel well black thingy. It's held on by 2 or 3 screws, and like 5 plastic retaining clips.
3) remove bulb sockets, there's two bulbs
4) turn signal lense is held in by 2 clips on the outside (white) and just a wedge on the inside, remove
5) reverse

it took me like 5 min per side

I just installed mine last week. It is really a piece of cake. I would say an hour max to do both sides. First you are goign to want to turn the wheels towards the side that you are working to give you some room. You are going to need to remove the wheel well cover. There are about three screws and maybe five plastic "screw clips"... dont really know how to explain them, but they are easy to deal with. Once you have that off, you simply have two clips that really hold each light assembly in. You will have to twist out the two lights in each light assemblly to completely free the old light from the car. Installing the new Euro light is as simple as taking out the old. It is much easier to understand once you get the wheel well cover off. I have no experience with working on cars and it was not hard at all. If i can do it, anyone can.

I put mine on last weekend. I didn't completely remove the fender liner. I just pealed it back a bit. It was a pain in the **** to get the lights in for me. The angle was tough because of the fender liner. I didn't raise the car up either. It would have been alot easier had I raised the car and pulled off the fender liner.

I currently have the egg yolk look but I have some stealth bulbs on order. BTW does anyone know the number for the side bulbs? The little bulbs. I wasn't sure which ones to order for those.

I have pics but can't post them from work right now.

Thanks for the link for the bulbs, but where do you get the actual lens covers?? I'm with Torch and am probably going with white bulbs, but need to know wher to get the clear cover?

I did mine a couple weeks ago. Very easy to do, just be gentle with the white clips. The lenses that I got of ebay came with yellow bulbs, but I just left the regular white bulbs in there. I am not sure if a white bliker is legal, but it looks great when just those light are on or even when the headlights are on, its looks much better than yellow imo.
