Lately, one of the most popular upgrades that 2005+ Mustang owners are doing is replacing the stock amber front turn signals with a clear, smoked, or black turn signal lens. Today, we are going over the installation process and photo comparisons of each different lens.
Tools/Parts Needed:
Phillips Head Screwdriver Plyers Clear, Smoked, or Black Turn Signal Lenses1. The first step is to make sure your vehicle is parked on a level service with the parking brake engaged. Turn your steering wheel at full lock to the side opposite the one you are installing the lens on. (If you are installing the lens on the driver's side, turn the wheel all the way over to the passenger side) This will give you enough room to work with. You can use the phillips screwdriver to remove the screws on inner fender lining to give you access to the lenses. Also, it is not necessary to lift the car but it will make the process of getting access to the lens and having enough working room much easier.
2. Once you have access to the rear of the lens, you will need to remove the bulbs in the stock lens housing. There are two separate bulbs in each lens. (3157 and 194 bulb signified by red arrows in the picture below)Remove the bulbs by simply grasping the base firmly and turning counter-clockwise. They should come out with minimal effort.
3. After you've removed the bulbs from the rear of the lens, you will see two white prongs which are holding the lens in place. (see red arrows in the picture below) What you want to do is squeeze these white prongs with your plyers/channel locks while you gently press on the front of the lens. This will release the lens from the housing. This process will be easier if you have another set of hands to push the lens while you are releasing the prongs.
4. Now, after you've removed the stock lens, you simply need to re-install the bulbs in your new lens and reverse the process from step three.
