Stealth front end...

Replace the turn signal bulb with a "stealth" bulb that you can buy on line (E-bay or Forum Vendor) that has a amber filament but looks silver from the front and side. Take the headlight assembly out, remove all bulbs. Pop the amber reflector on the outer side of the housing out using a screw driver. Break up the reflector while still in the housing with dykes/cutter of your choice by going in through the open bulb socket...shake the broken amber reflector bits out of the housing. Go to your local parts store and buy a replacement 2-pack of amber side-marker bulbs. Re-assemble everything. You've now got a stealth clear-corner rig. Looks great, and people know there is something "cool" about your front-end but can't necessarily figure it out.

If you are talking about the turn signals, then listen to the the guy who just posted. However, if you are referring to the side bulbs with the orange reflector, than there is a way to get rid of that. I am going to attempt that tomorrow.

Do a search this was just covered, I posted up a pretty good how to on how to get that amber lense out. Also, im going to put up my cleared ones for sale soon, I may just throw them on ebay. Put another set on when i traded the truck in.

So you got it done? Good! It is time consuming, but free, and looks pretty good.

I hope you found the lenses you were looking for! I know the corners do in fact have an orange lens which would need to be swapped out but also swapping out the amber bulbs will make a huge difference.

Check out the image below of a Ford F-250. As you can see, the bulbs are the only thing reflecting the amber color in the front.


Below are before/after images of our Stealth Bulbs on a Lightning.



To see an article Ford-Trucks did on our bulbs CLICK HERE.

Good luck with the clear corners and feel free to contact me if you have any questions!!
