My friend was at a junkyard last weekend and got clear turn signal lenses. $5.00 for the pair. He wouldn't even let me give him the money. The nuts were rusted on the assemblies but were going to try to get them this weekend. The guy said $5.00 for them too. They were on a 70 Fury.

I cleaned them up and painted them. They are nice.

I had yellow lenses on the car. I have a set of nos one's but didn't want to use them until I restored the car. These are great. Tom

I taped the inside of the lenses and painted the outside. I just used a scuff pad on them and wiped them down with pre kleeno. I stared using mopar rallye wheel paint but it was kinda thin so I ended up putting on Eastwood reflective aluminum (#1283). They both really looked the same. I polised the lenses inside and out with 3m ultra fine compound. It really cleaned them up nice. I am very happy with them. Tom
