Default Looking for Clear Bubble Lens

Hi

does anyone know where to get those lenses if they exists?

I need to replace my rear red bubble lenses, or something similar fitting the hole, but clear.

thanks for helping

No, but I've seen a clear distributor cap? Why clear tail lights?

He lives in a place where you need amber turn indicators to be street legal. He's thinking what a lot of our foreign members are, to use a clear lens and an amber bulb.

Any reason why you cant do what a lot of us UK guys do and use an amber bulb in the reversing lens? Means you loose the reversing light but looks stock from the rear.

Hear is a link to help you out.

As you can see, it only cost me £6.79 and a couple of hours work.

hehe I saw that clear distributor cap on a 'Stang: pretty cool!

Of course I need amber lights since people here can't see me when I trigger turn lights!

Well, I can't reverse the backup lens since I only have 1 lens per side and a stock one wouldn't fit so nice

OH that makes sense I was going to call the RICER police on him and take his keys away. Doesn't eckler's make amber lens covers for C3's? I know they make them for C5 & C6.

that PDF is very interesting...

but I still need to find Clear Bubble Lens, since I'd like them rather than stock lights!


RICER police There are plenty ricers here messing at traffic lights but they are usually blown out by C3's!
