I would like to change out my Amber front directional lenses to clear.
I believe the only way to do this is a Lucas lens....
Can anyone lead me in the right direction to finding these lenses?
or
If anyone has an example of a nice LED directional that will install in the stock location, that would be good also....
Thanks
Troy

Hey Troy, I used these LED Turn Signals from Custom Dynamics. I used the 1.8" size. As far as fit, piece of cake. I just pulled out the stock bulb, siliconed the LED unit in and good to go.
And fwiw, those Lucas lenses fit pretty well but you do need to file the holes a little and make them oblong so the screws line up.

Cool..... nice idea. So you used the Amber LED's and the Clear lens? or you just kept the Amber lens....?

I kept the Amber lens up front because I don't like the look of the clear lens with the clear led lights.
I switched my rear turn signals to red and used the Lucas lenses, that's why I knew about them.

Just a reminder that you will have to drill out the mounting holes a tad to make them fit , i think i used a 6mm bit ?

Bob and I saw a guy today with a yamaha that had chrome LENSES on his signals. presumably they're amber when lit. quite a distinctive look.

Nice set up, Don. Compliments your headlight and driving lights which are also very sweet.

I have these on order too, has anyone replaced the rear signals with these clear lenses and red bulbs? Looking to use the running light feature of the signal minder but not a fan of equipment violation tickets.
