Hey Redondoaveb... I ended up ordering a 'blank' set of those fender turn signals as well... they should be here (NJ) shortly. Looks like we need to remove the old lens with a heat gun and then attach the new lens with some adhesive like loctite. When you put yours on I'd be interested in seeing how it looks... I'll post mine as well. Good luck with yours and hope it turns out nice!

I ordered a used set of lights to experiment with and tried the heat gun on one and just used a small screwdriver on the other. The one I used the heat gun on would not even come off and the more I tried to pry it off, it warped the outer edge of the housing because it was hot and easily warped. I think heat set the glue even more. The one without the heat basically just popped right off. So when I removed them on the set I planned on using, I used no heat. It did mar up the outer part of the housing a little bit but I was sanding and painting them gloss black anyway so I was able to sand it smooth.

I replaced all my led's with red ones too. I'm just going to use silicone sealant to seal them back up in case I need to re-open them. If mine by some chance show up tonight, I'll have them together tomorrow.

they're pretty neat, pricey for just replacement lenses, but very neat.
