More pics?

Easy install?

I got a set on e-bay of the all black ones. They are getting installed tommorow along with some rocker stripes and moleskin (Im not very mechanically inclined ). Now.... if it would just stop snowing here, I might be able to drive the car .

Those look pretty good too.


Do you live in Hazard County or what?
the mud? Yeah sometimes I think so. Whole alley is basically a pothole mess. They keep digging it up for utility upgrades/fixes and they do occasionally grade/regravel but it's like once every year and a half. In the mean time it's just mud and sand all over. Trust me I drive ultra slow and dodge all over the alley to avoid what I can but I have to sweep and wash out my garage twice a year to get rid of the muck.

I still like those little segmented ones with the black housings(the ones that look like the headlights) some better pics would be nice. Seems like most pics of turn signals is from a dead-cat point of view and not as people over 5" tall would look at the vehicle.

You can change them without removing the wheels.

I just installed my clear turns.

I think they look good...so much better than the OEM amber:


Thanks to:

OKCMustangGT for the walkthroughs of the install

and

*555 for getting me on the right track with finding the best clear turns on Ebay.

Here is a pic.

Just an idea of how they look on a mineral grey GT.

The other shot is for comparison with the OEM lens housing.

I mean these things look to have the exact same dimensional specs as the OEMs.

I am still waiting on my stealth bulbs which I ordered from stangmods.com


They shipped the same day I ordered. I have ordered from other places that claimed to ship the same day if you ordered by a certain time, that still didn't ship. So far I am very impressed with stangmods.com

thanks

The clear turns look great. I'm on the fence with these though, because although I really like the look, especially on a silver or grey car like mine, I don't know if I feel they are worth $140.

Are you guys using the OEM bulbs or buying the "stealth" type bulbs? The stealths are 60 dollars for the 2 pairs that you need. Anyone have a cheaper alternative?

I got my stealths off ebay for a couple bucks each. Im not sure if they are any dimmer than the expensive ones (never seen those in person) but no real problems so far.

Yea I went on ebay and found some cheap. I wasn't about to pay 60 bucks for some corner bulbs out of principle. StealthBulbs is a rip-off.

For anyone that wants to save money:

I got my clear turns as well as the stealth bulbs installed.

I might try to get some low res vids of the turn signals on @ day/night

Here's what it looks like.

I got the bulbs from this place: Custom Decals and Silver Bulbs. Just search for our bulb types: "3157" & "194". they were $10 for each pair.
