x3 racing offered the all black housings a while back with the white turn signals, then they had to replace the white lens with the amber, due to regulations and laws.
certain people suchas myself and i believe a previous poster on this topic were able to buy the housings before the change was made from the white turn signal to the amber. BUT i know you said you didnt care for the amber lens. and hate to say this but to my knowledge theres nothing available with the white turn signals anymore. keep checking on ebay maybe a set will pop up. but if you didnt want to pay the 180.oo bucks you could always paint it yourself. which thats not bad at all.
*remove the housings from your truck-
*set your around to around 250 degrees -
*lay a pan down and lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the pan-
*clean the housing thouroughly (sp?) and remove your bulb (no-brainer) -
* lay the housing in the oven (one at a time) and bake until warm , just keep a watch and use common sense. -
*remove the housing and slowly peel apart the the two half peices (front and back)
mask off where you want painted (just look at pictures of others) DO NOT paint the inside where the headlight shines (again a no-brainer)-
* use semi-gloss or flat black (personal pref.) and apply a few coats.-
*seal back up the housings with clear silicone (be sloppy; when it dries remove the excess with a razorblade) - then re-install the housings. and your done.
let us know what you decide should look pretty good. BUT check your local laws. you might HAVE to buy the x3 housings with the AMBER signals.
