My paint guy hooked me up again & sprayed my factory mirror lenses. He thins out gloss black then clear coats the lenses. Now they match my cab lights and Recon 3rd brake light.
As you can see, my originals were cracked and broken. "fordboy2" sold me some stockers in great shape.

 

I think they look great, nice looking truck too

 

Looking good!

How about black bumpers?

 

I think it looks good.

 

Thanks guys. I've thought about black bumpers too. Just not in the budget. Maybe some day, I'd like an 08 tailgate also!!!

 

Yay!! Dim lights!! Who needs to see the lights anyway?

 

In his case, the mirror and clearance lights are not required by law, so ANY light is brighter than what has been decreed the minimum.

 

Actually with the high quality LEDs I have in the cab lights, they're brighter than stock lenses/bulbs. As far as the mirror lights, they still project amber light from the stock LEDs inside. At night they may not be as bright as a non-tinted lense - but as MWS said, they're brighter than non-lit mirrors for sure.

 

nicest looking 02 I have ever seen, that thing is sweet.

 

......

 

Looks great!! Reps to you.

And, fordboy2 needs to post in this thread so I can rep him too

 

I see your right mirror cover is broken like mine, what did you use to glue it back together?

 

Can you briefly explain how to remove the lenses?

 

I didn't repair the lense. I replaced them both.

It's much easier then it looks. All you need is a long thin flat head screw driver. You have to move the mirror glass around to the extreme sides to access the release tabs. I think there are six of them. They will release the entire front cover of the mirror including the led assy. Tten unplug the light. Once the mirror shell is off of the truck you'll see two plastic "wings" that have to be gently squeezed to remove the light from the shell. First one takes 20 mins, 2nd one takes 2.

 

Great looking truck....The all black SD's can't be beat! The front bumper painted black would be a nice finish to your truck.
