Okay, youze guyz got me going on this. I've been wanting to do the white lenses out front for a while but I have a small dilemma. I have a Lund moon visor on my white '99 Ltd and the only replacement lenses found for that to-date are clear (not frosted). The problem is the bulb "wells" - behind the lenses - get dirt inside. Either the lens-gasket seal is not airtight or dirt intrudes from the backside holes where each bulb socket mounts. Clear lenses will allow that small dirt build-up to be visible from outside - so I need white frosted lenses on the Lund moon visor to complete the package. Do any of you guyz know where there's a source for these?

check around some more for the Chrome finish bulbs.... they look chrome when they're off so they leave your clear lenses looking clear with no orangey tint... when they're on, they are still amber... I think you can get them at stylinconcepts.com

I know I've seen clear lenses for roof marker lights... but they are for trucks, not visor... I would check on the lund website... if not, you're probably looking at a custom fab project... maybe with some lexan or something.
