Car almost done (pics - need advice)

Looking really great Robert. I think those front TS lenses can be had in clear, but as I recall there are two screw placements and you need to be sure you get the right ones. Install a yellow bulb and you're all set. The rears are also available in clear (see Ron McCall's post) and on your car they might look good.

Can't wait to see some photos taken with a camera and not a phone!

I bought some clear front lenses from Hall about 9 yrs ago. They have been on my car ever since. I really like them.

Ron

Those clear fronts look great on a black car. And they look good on this orange car:



I tracked down photos of the clear tail lights and they are not for me unless I smoked them. At the very least I need to paint the tail light buckets black. That little bright trim is already bugging me and I don't even have the car yet.

Robert,

I have clear lenses with yellow bulbs. Looks good on red so it should look good on your new color too...

Wilkinson has the clear lenses....very reasonably priced.

I have them on my red car.

good luck,

John

I think the clear would look great too. On the images others have posted, they seem to modernize the front end nicely.

However, since you are probably putting your fog lights back in below the signal lights, I'd suggest you wait until they're in and see if the amber lamps still look lame in combination - The two colour lenses that Larryw mentions might be the answer.

She's really looking good, keep up the posts!

Here are the two-color lenses I sell. These are the same style/size as de Tomaso used on the GT5 and GT5S cars. But different manufacturer. I include the necessary adapter plates for mounting in the L-model cars, new bulbs and instructions. They function with a 5 watt white running light, and a 21 watt amber signal light. No cutting of your wiring is needed, and only slight modification of the light buckets. Car could be returned to original with another adapter plate like the one I supply.

$125 includes shipping to USA.

And now may be the time to also consider upgrading those plain, dull run-of-the-mill stock Ford tail lights, too?

Can you smoke the ones you have? Dark would be best

Clear lenses on the front.

Euro lenses on the back.

Some people ALWAYS looking for the next high. What is this world coming to?

Here is a close up of the two color lenses

Sorry to butt in, but where can I get new 2 col lenses just like that - with corner screws?

I bought those from Larry! Of Course!

Love those Euro lenses. I like the two color front lenses, but don't like the amber next to the orange. Seems like clear is the way to go.

Is it possible to flush mount the front turn signals somehow?

Robert,
I agree with the white lens for your car. Looking forward to more pics.
Jeff
PS:
I also like the 2 color lens. Does anyone know if they will fit on a Pre-L bumper ?

Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it

Jeff,

I have looked into this a year or two back.

In a word, no.

Totally different light assemblies. I did decide if someone was REALLY motivated, they could fabricate some sort of mounting adapters and get my two-color lights suspended within the bumper light hole; they are a bit smaller than the opening.

But I could not picture this as being a nice, clean install without a LOT of planning, and then a lot of trial-and-error fitting.

I did see one pre-L with two color lenses a few years ago at Concorso. I never found the owner, but close inspection led me to believe he had just used a clear set of lenses, tinted one side amber but still only had one bulb. Got the look, but not the function.

I am not aware of the pre-L light having a two-color version.

Here is a photo in the link of how they tucked in the signals on my 5S: http://www.poca.com/index.php/gallery/?g2_itemId=3069

If you are into modifications for the signals, I like how Pat did some BMW front signals:

Like the other dude said, just throw more money at it...we are all used to that by now.

Your signals look great. Guess I should have thought of that when they were doing fab work.
