Where to get clear turn signals?
So I finally got tired of the orange ones on my car. They never really bothered me but after seeing clears on several cars on here I realized how much of a hindrance they were. So I have a few questions about them...
1. Where's a good place to get 'em? I hear they can be purchased pretty cheaply.
2. Are the V6 signal covers the same as the GT or do I need to be careful which ones I order?
3. Is the install relatively simple?
4. Where would I be able to get amber light bulbs?
Thanks!

Per your question (out of order, sorry, haha)
2. The v6 and GT corner lenses are the same.
3. Install can be a pain. you can do it by only jacking the car up, but i found it much easier to take off the whell wells and crank the wheels to get easy access to the back of the lenses.
1, 4. StangMods is where I got mine at. They sell a full replacement set (Lens and both silverstar bulbs) at a discount price, and the bulbs have a lifetime warranty too. Could try to find them on eBay, but kept hearing mixed results on them fogging up over time.
No issues so far, and while there was a bit of concern that the clear would make the Tungsten look very "Euro" it does look a lot cleaner now.

Ebay has them as well for cheaper than any of those other places. Thats where I got mine from and have had no issues with them. As for the bulbs, I went with the Sylvania Silverstar turnsignals which you can find at like Autozone, they're exactly like the stealth ones you find online but, half the price and they look just as good IMO.

Ditto on stangmods.com. Install is really simple on the rear corners. On the fronts it is much easier if you just jack the car up, pull the wheels, and then remove the 2 plastic screw/rivets that hold the wheel well liners in place. This gives you more than enough room to get in there and snap the old ones out/new ones in:
Final result is certainly worth the effort. Good luck with it.

I ordered the front and rear clear markers and turn signals from Stangmods on Monday, arrived today. I installed the rear markers in 5 minutes. Didn't get a chance to install the front, it got dark.
I ordered the combo kits - they come with the stealth bulbs.
