Clear turn signals/parking light?

[Grimes]

I am wanting to remove any sort of amber plastic/covers, and instead have an amber LED in place of the halogen bulb (all other bulbs will be LED swapped as well, just white). However, I'm not exactly sure how the bulbs and covers work for the front.

The top rack, from center out, is hi - low - turn signal. But what is the bottom rack? I do not know when the inside light is on, nor the outside amber light (parking light I assume?), and the center light is DRL. At that, do each of these 6 sections have their own bulb, or is the color merely discerned via the cover?

Basically, I'm just looking for advice on what steps to take/where to start to get only clear light covers in the front.

Also, if relevant, I have a plug n play HID kit installed in the highs and lows.

Thanks for the input as always!

EDIT: Z-56 Hoe's truck is what I'm talking about for the lights, except for a GMC, and I do not know what it is called.

From the center out-
Headlight housing- 1.high beam, 2.low beam. The amber is just a reflector and can be taken out by heating up the housing and taking the housing apart.
drl/signal housing- 1.daytime running light(on in the daytime when truck is out of park and e brake is off. Turns off when headlights on), 2.turn signal/parking light, 3.side marker. Each of the 5 sections has it's own bulb.You can buy clear drl/signal housings from ebay like this-

The bumper lights are as follows fron center DRL, next is turn / marker light , then it's a little 194 wedge that's turn / marker kinda on the side. Look on ebay or amazon. They have clear ones on there too. That's my wife's Tahoe btw not mine. But thank You.

Thanks for the info! I will probably get a clear bottom cover. If I do that, do y'all suggest getting a clear top cover as well, or just remove the reflector? And is mine really as dirty/nasty/foggy as it looks or is that just the material?

Well # 1 you should change the headlight housing cause your stock ones have a fluted lens that scatters the beam and distorts the HIDs and a whole set up on eBay is only like $120 with free shipping for heads light housings and bumper light housing together either black or clear.

They are also available in black backed Dimond cut

So, I found a few options. Part of the decision is also whether I want to go chrome or black. I'm leaning more towards chrome, as I want to maintain a good black/chrome contrast without putting in too much black. Will probably be sticking with the black/stock grill as well.

Thoughts on quality/looks of these lights?

Also, if I can find a set that happens to have fogs as well, I'll take 'em. And am I able to use my current HID kit on all of those? My end all is to get new, very clear, and either black or chrome backed housings, and ditch all halogen bulbs to be replaced by HID highs/lows and LED the rest.

Thanks!

EDIT: Just read the headlight info thread that trashed projectors + HID combo. So... might be ditching the black completely and going chrome without projector Really feeling the http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-SIERRA-Y...Parts_Accessories&hash=item51ae10de0f&vxp=mtr right now. Any negatives?

I like number 1 of the 3 chrome ones but I have seen it with a clear reflector too. And think it looks better that way or that version in black with clear reflector!

Thanks for the input. Found a clear headlight cover, I believe its the same style. Anyway, here's what I've got. Any suggestions on different items or a package deal would be awesome!

Not necessarily those prices as it is ebay, just those products. I'll do the price hunting when I know these are what I want. I'll be putting HID highs and lows in the headlights, a better amber LED in the signal (maybe), and definitely white LED everywhere else. The pictures with the halogen lights and these covers really ruin the look of the cover.

EDIT: Y'all don't think it would be odd to have smoked tails and chrome/clear front lights, right?

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

You can usually get a package deal off eBay with all three for like $130.00 with free shipping. Ask my wife where she does all the ordering I just pick them out.

Found a few, but they all have the amber reflector. Trying to avoid me having to remove it. It's good to know those packages exist though if I can't find one with clear reflectors.

Real quick, are any of these lights that have been posted "fluted" like my current ones? For instance, I've found these 2 packages.

Will those cause any visibility issues with the HIDs like my current housing? Thanks
