211-953-142TC Front Turn Signal Lens Passenger Right- Clear - VW Bus 1973-1979

Front Turn Signal Lens (Clear) – 211-953-142TC

Give your Late Bay Bus a clean, custom look with the 211-953-142TC Clear Front Turn Signal Lens. This lens is a direct replacement for the factory amber version, offering a modern aesthetic while maintaining the original "Late Bay" dimensions and styling. Designed specifically for the 1973-1979 Volkswagen Type 2 Bus, these lenses provide excellent light transmission and a crisp, updated appearance to your front end.

The 211-953-142TC is manufactured from UV-resistant acrylic to prevent yellowing and cracking over time. Unlike early-style lenses, this version is designed to fit the rectangular housings found on later buses. Since it features a clear finish, it is recommended to use an amber bulb to remain compliant with local traffic laws while achieving the "Euro-spec" look.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Amber Bulbs Required: Since the lens itself is clear, you must install Amber 1157 or 1156 bulbs (depending on your socket type) to ensure your turn signals flash the legally required color.

• Gasket Inspection: When replacing the lens, inspect the rubber lens gasket. If it is dry-rotted or flattened, it should be replaced to prevent water from entering the housing and corroding the bulb socket.

• Screw Tension: Do not over-tighten the mounting screws. The plastic around the screw holes can crack if too much pressure is applied; tighten until the lens is snug against the gasket.

• Lens Polishing: To keep your clear lenses looking new, you can use a standard plastic polish or wax. This adds a layer of UV protection and keeps the surface from becoming "cloudy" due to road salt or sun exposure.
