Clear turn signal lenses??

The Rookie · 09-29-2005, 07:55 PM

Anybody have a good source for the clear turn signal lenses?

well I got mine from afterthoughtauto.com

Got them awhile ago so I can't remember if that's the place. But it included orange bulbs too.

Got mine on ebay for about $40. That was the front and backs, even came with bulbs.

I like them, but they'er too expensive. The only thing I've purchased from them are t-shirts and a billit cigarette lighter replacement. Ebay is much cheaper

I got mine from afterthoughtsauto.com. I put red & amber LEDs in them instead of regular bulbs. They're pretty sharp.

I was thinking about doing that, but I'm not sure when it comes to LED lights. What info do you have on yours? Make, model number, etc.. That way I can look them up and see where to buy.

Not bad at all for 28 bucks which included shipping. www.procarparts.com or try getting them through them on ebay like I did.

Wait, lol, I'm confused. Did you get them from Pro Car Parts or ebay?!

The Rookie · 10-13-2005, 07:24 AM

Sorry for the confusion....

I got them on ebay, which came from pro car parts.

just remember that if you use clear lenses you need to use led bulbes. the regular bulbes will melt the housing. i learned this the hard way after melting two sets on two different cars. i have the clear lenses from afterthought with leds and have had no problems after almost two years.

ps i have ordered some parts from pro car parts on ebay and they are execellent to deal with, and rksports in my opinion sucks!

I've had no problem whatsoever with my clear corner lenses. I've had them for about 1.5 - 2 years and also got them from afterthoughtsauto. The bulbs that come with the clear lenses are the standard bulbs you can buy from any auto store and shouldn't melt the housing at all.
Maybe you got some poor quality clear corner lenses? Or a possibly a wiring problem??

Anyways, I've had no problem with melting and highly recommend the lenses for a nice clean look!

dustinhickman · 10-24-2005, 02:24 PM

the ones that i had that melted were from rksports, two different sets on two differnet cars. i did not notice that they were melted until i tried to change the bulbs. i also drive with the parking lights on all of the time, so that might have helped speed up the process. the lenses that i have not are from AA and have not melted but i have leds in them.

If you use Hyperwhite bulbs they are more likely to melt, so put some di-electrical grease on the socket. Any pics of clear corners installed on some Z's or T/A's?
