I think most of the people on here think that clear turn signals, as well as clear tail lights make the car look like its trying to be a european or japanese car. I am sure some company will make them though, haven't seen them anywhere as of yet.

I could stand to do away with the orange covers up front too. looks goofy with my redfire paint...not sure how clear would look, but I'd be interested to see some pics to see if it looks too ricey or whatever...

Clear blinkers are not ricey, they are mandatory on any car. I am actually amazed Ford still makes amber ones, it's so outdated.

Most american cars have amber front turn signals, I just checked GM's web site, nearly all of their cars have amber as well up front.

Ben posted this up. i feel a clear lens would look good on lighter color cars and a darker lens on darker colored cars. amber turn signals sticks out like a sore thumb on any colored car imho.

azlitigator has smoked ones. I ordered the film to do mine also. The orange ones really stick out on a silver car.

Yours looks great Harry.

thx Donna, so does yours. you have stripes too. our cars are siblings.

yes i agree with you. maybe if the turn signals were not soooh long then it wouldn't be so bad. but they are super long and i feel like my car is pinocchio w/ a rudolph (the reindeer) orange nose.

masking my red marker lenses and the turn signals balanced the profile of the car. i'm so happy about that. the red marker light stands out less than the amber turn signals, but they do stand out also, if left stock, on the side of the car.
