does anyone have a lead on smoked or clear side marker lights for the Ranger? Not sure if it’s out of the Ford parts bin and something else might fit. I’d like to get rid of that orange. I have amber LEDs now from Panda.

I'll spray tint mine. Been waiting for the spray to go on sale somewhere.

I wrapped mine with headlight tint. Only took a couple minutes. Cut it to wrap around the lens edge a little bit and hit it with a heat gun (optional) to push down the wrap. Removed the light from the vehicle first.

I chose a very dark shade. There are other options and if I find it too glassy I’ll check out the Matte. Hard to tell until I see it in a few lighting conditions.

How do the lenses get removed from the flares? Pretty easy?

Quite easy. You can watch the video under the installation section of the page below to get you most of the way there. Once you have your hand around the back of the light there is just a plastic clip on the two short sides. Apply pressure firmly on one side and the light comes out towards you in one piece. The video shows you removing some trim screws. That’s not necessary if you can just fold back the liner and get your fingers in there.

On projects like this I add a small amount of black to a 2-part clearcoat and shoot it with an airbrush...you can get the exact amount of tint you want.

Going to be attempting this mod today. Those side markers are just too much, so this should work til someone comes out with a clear cover.

Got the Vvivid (what a weird company name) Air dark black tint in the mail, time research getting the bugger out.

I'm still waiting for anyone to make the fender markers in clear to match the mirror blinker lights...

Or... does any one know the Ford OEM part number for these and how much they'd cost? I'm debating on making some myself by replacing the amber lens with a clear one.
