Thanks for posting pics! I did this a while ago but did not think to take pics. I unscrewed and took out the turn signal reflector piece to get at the lens, but this way may be easier depending on what tools one has available.

I used Phillips bulbs similar to the Sylvania ones. Pics of final result in gallery.

if you go to that link ^ i believe that chubby checker is making some clear lenses if you are considering replacing the orange turn signals with the clear one... you might have to disassemble the headlight assembly though.. (i think by baking it...) but yeah. just a heads up.
