Clear Corner Lens Install

I know several people were wondering how hard and how to install the clear corner lenses. I just did mine and a write up. They are SO simple to install and look great.

Nice write-up, OKC! The pics look really good. Anyone looking to do this upgrade that has any fear of modding should find this extremely helpful.

Yes, could you post where you bought the lenses, and what exactly a stealth bulb is. They look terrific. Its great for me, since you have a Vista Blue GT with stripes, so seeing your car, I'll know exactly what my car will look like. Can't wait to know where I can pick up a set.

A few questions:

1. What are "stealth" bulbs and where can you get them?

2. Are these things legal? I don't want to buy them, install them, and later get told they are illegal for one reason or another.

3. A preference question. How do you think they would look on a darker color car (black, alloy, ect)?

Stealth bulbs are ones that look silver when off, but amber when they are on. Its so you can legaly have amber in clear lenses with out seeing an amber bulb in there during the day. Get it....

Are they all the same from the different places? Or does one look different than another?

Sorry guys I have been out of town. Here are the answers for you.

Stealth Bulbs are bulbs that are silver in color till they turn on, then they shine amber.
The 05+ Stangs use the 3157 & 194 Bulbs.
They are expensive, but have a lifetime warranty and don't make your clear lenses look like egg yokes. (Clear Lens + Amber Bulb = Egg Yoke)

Legality is different for each state. In Oklahoma they are 100% legal. In other states they may not be. You will have to check that yourself. I have never heard of anyone getting pulled over for having clear corner lenses though.

They look Best on PW and Darker colors like Alloy, Black, VB etc, but IMO they look great on ANY color.

Mine are APC 403099CL and I bought them from New Edge Performance.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Make sure you post pics of the finished product. I liked the clears at first but wasn't too sure if I should pull the trigger. I'm just glad I didn't pay $175 like some of these guys did for the Revotecs. $80 isn't too painful. Good luck!

Judging by the pictures, I'd say they would. Check with 05stangkc for sure.
