Hi Hanta,
I don't think I've ever seen a clear side marker lens. I'd think since the originals were amber the repros all are too. I believe that even in 70 and 71 when the parking/turn signal lens in the grill was clear, the side marker lens was amber
Regards
Alan

Why? Side markers are either amber (front) or red (rear)..

Doc Rebuild offers them in clear for 68 only. As the others have stated, it should be red & amber.

You should be able to make it work if you think outside the box. A 68 lense and some fiberglass or cutting your own plastic to fit should work. Is there a reason why you want a clear side marker?

What do the laws in Sweden require? Or what do they allow?

Funny, today I was thinking that a white/clear side marker would be much nicer then amber...

If you find where to get them,send me a PM will you?

The 68 lenses are much smaller than the 72 units. I don't think they would be much help, even with "Bubba" engineering!
