Clear Side Lights

Do dealers sell them? Is it an easy self install (event for the technically challenged)?

My dealer sells them. I got them for $17 a piece. Very easy to install.

You have to get sand and then melt it into glass, then shape it to fit your lights.

OC Ben can probably help you with this.

PS. If OC is too busy, call Suncoast...that is where I got mine.

Point of Clarification: I should have actually disclosed that I got them as a gift from my good friend Maineman, and he got them from SunCoast.

It only takes a few minutes to do yourself.
There are instructions in your manual on how to remove them.

There was also a recent thread with pics that should prove helpful for anyone who's interested in doing it themselves.

800? really, that seems like a lot for what amounts to a comsetic upgrade. Think I will try it myself.

This is an easy DIY, but if you're uncomfortable trying it your dealer shouldn't have a problem doing it free of charge. It seems this is one of the first mods everyone does

Cheap and easy. Like my old gfs.

Ben, I see you've thrown in the tip towel and posted links to your favorite tip threads. Probably a good idea.

Thanks JR. We got 'em, and it takes less than 5 minutes to install this amazing 10hp per side upgrade.
