Clear tails
I cant find clear tail lenses for 80-96 truck. I don't want altezza's. I just want clear lenses to put colored bulbs in. Found them for 79 back, but nothing newer. Any ideas, I've looked everywhere.

IPCW CWTCE501AC Tail Light:1987-1996 Ford Pick Up Full Size, 1992-1996 Ford Bronco; Clear Lens
TOUCAN 061320 TRUCK MDL FRD F-150 92-98
These are all I could find, the plain clear we never DOT legal. Even some of the ones with red weren't. As I understand it, the companies importing them are trying to comply with the law and only bring in/make legal taillights. Sence that requires some new molds, availablity will be severly limited.

The first number worked, the second didn't. But those look like the altezza style. I've found tons of those. The lights I want look like the little reverse square at the bottom of a stock tail light. The whole thing is clear/white, not just the little square. Then you put the red 1157 bulb in it. I have almost given up, however I did buy a pair of new ones, 87 and up, smooth, and I am going to try a light powder blast on them, going for a frosted look.

I remember those clear/white tailights, they were all the rage back in the '90s. I'd love to find a pair for my E350. Those altezza red tails look so cheesy. The only altezza tail I'd buy would be the new LED style. The rest look like they belong on a spaceship or a riceburner.

You mean lights like these?
This is the 2nd set I have owned of these lights. I got this set from a friend, and I currently use Leds I got from the superbrightleds.com site. I cant remember where I got the 1st set. I was using the red bulbs but they kept fading to white and I was getting pulled over all the time so I sold them. I looked all over the place and can't find them anywhere on the web. I haven't been stopped yet, the leds work much better than the dyed bulbs.

Not bad looking. I'm suprised you dont' get pulled over for them though. As far as I know you are supposed to have a red reflector at the back corner of your vehicle, and yellow reflectors on the front.

I have been pulled over once so far. It was because the 3 little red lights on my bumper, the cop said the red light made it difficult to read my license plate. He didn't say anything about the other lights.

Yes Sycostang-those are exactly what I was looking for and found. They even had the 80-86 style too. Theirs do have red reflectors in them. Check them out. How did you do the LED trick? Did you buy a wire in replacement "socket"? If so, where did you find it? Thanks for all the help guys-I really don't like the latest style of aftermarket lights.
