Clear turn signal lenses on a U class.

I just installed the clear lenses (with amber bulbs) on my U320.  I wanted to update the look of the front end.  What do you think?  Better?  More snowflakey?  Fugly?  I want opinions before I toss the original lenses in them dumpster. Woody.

Original lenses.



Clear with amber bulbs.

Not sure about legality in all states?  Orange in front red in back visible from the side?

Those are rare and hard to find. They definitely improve the front end look. I had them on my 95 and loved them. As long as you are using amber bulbs (I used led bulbs) there is no legal issue.

LED aux lights were installed by PO, but look generic...installation required some fiberglass trimming.  Neither of us have driven at night (yet), so no comparison....I use them as DRL's. 

Clear lenses are from AFT Parts.  Ford F-Series and Bronco 87-92 |  Install requires removing outer headlight bucket attach screws (4-5 screws) and 3 screws hold turn lens to bucket.  EZ mod but you'll need amber 1157 bulbs.  Woody.

You can improve the light output of the Ford truck units by fitting higher powered bulbs.  I have been using Hella 100/80W bulbs for several years with no problem.  The standard wiring works fine with them.  Although they are brighter, their effect would still be hobbled by the crappy plastic lens design and low placement, so don't expect miracles.

Amazon.com: HELLA 9004 100/80W High Wattage Bulb, 12V: Automotive

The "fog" lights look similar in concept to the ones I installed on our GV.  It would be fairly simple to do the same type mod on a Unicoach.
