Default Clear Corners

I've posted before, without much help. I don't know how you guys feel but, here it goes:

I don't like the amber lenses on our cars. I feel it doesn't match anything. Does anyone know where I could get clear lenses, so I can use those and replace the bulb with an amber bulb instead? I don't really care for the red on the back either, but I'll live with it.



I also wouldn't mind the same for the front:



anyone got any info for me?

i've never found clear lenses, so I was thinking up tinting all the lights since here everything can be tinted except headlights(which you don't see), so I figured that would get rid of some of the colors.

I like your flames do you have more pictures?

I don't know about the side turn signals but my '85 has a clear lens in the front which is one piece and covers both the fog light and turn signal bulb (which is amber).

WADR, I thought all the clear corner things for and on cars were mostly in the import-scene cars. No?

Not really. I have wanted clear side markers in the front and have never found them. That big bright amber square chunk kinda bugs me too. looks WAY 80s...

Even if it was from the import scene, what's it matter?

Maybe I'll have to find some similar lenses off another car that will fit.

I like the pinstripe, if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to do that?

sorry, I can't give an exact on that. The previous owner had it done at a car show, I think he said for about $300 but I'm really not sure.
