I found it for $15 - i think, it's not bad price!
Does anybody know, may be anybody makes clear signal lamps?

They use different mounting systems, so the answer is no.

*blerk* be creative paul, umm use epoxy or some sort of mounting design to fit it in. Just a matter of rigging something up, doesn't matter if the mounting's are different, as long as the sizes are right you shouldn't have a problem.

You can use an epoxy resin of some description, that'd be the easiest, but the only problem you would have is removing the assembling to change the globes.

I wouldn't mind getting my hand on a set too.

Glue them in, how are you going to replace the bulb's? I have a how to for making clears for the 86-87 cars. Start from the bottom picture and go up. If you have any questions, just ask.

If you can figure out a way to drill 2 mounting holes in a 88-89 turn signal assemblies, but you'd have to be spot on with your drilling, you might be able to make them work.

Those bulbs usually have a pretty long lifespan anyway,...

hmm say just glue it, and rip it out whenever you get a new globe!

or you might be able to replace the globes by going under neath the car

hey jim, where did you get the clear reflector from?

[DBMaster]

Wow. I just realized my old 72 Pontiac Catalina was ahead of its time. It had clear corner/turn signal housings up front with orange bulbs inside.

I even did H4 halogen conversions on the thing.

Well after looking at sheet floresent lighting reflector panels and the pieces that come with floresent light's them selves, I concluded that their was not way I was going to use something that was paper thin and very brittle. I went looking at the junk yard for turn signal assemblies that could "donate" a good size piece of refector plastic. I found a late 80's jeep that had huge clear turn signal assemblies and cut them down for my clears. Nice an thick.;)

i swapped all but the bumper mounted one onto my 86 from an 89

didnt think to do the bumper one...looked the same

might be the silly japanese models over here playing tricks again

The 86-87 are shorter than the 88-89. So they won't fit.

Maybe if you cut them they will fit but, then it might look crappy.
