White turn Signals..

So..something I missed when I built my MCS was the white turn signals. Does anyone know if there is a way to swap out the orange lens with a clear one, without changing the entire headlight assembly?

The orange turn signal lens in the headlights can be popped out and replaced with clear ones. The only issue might be finding the clear ones. Some just replace the bulb with one that lights up orange and leave the lens out.

I popped my orange ones out and put in chrome painted orange bulbs. You really dont need new lenses. Just imo

Mine are popped out as well and I have clear bulbs. If you want to actually replace the lenses you'll need to pull the light apart.

No you just need to remove the light(four 10mm bolts)open the access panel on the back and reach a small screwdriver in there to pop off the tabs to the lenses.Give it a shake and they'll fall out.

Heres a pic looking into the access hole on the back of the headlight. You can see the two orange tabs.
