These are the ones I bought, other than mine had the clear side markers. I had a hard time finding the clear/clear ones even a year ago, and it looks like they may have been discontinued. Good luck.

Default Found them on Fleabay!

Do a search on Fleabay for this term: "Corvette Black Bumper Lights"

Vendor Name: mr-djm

He's selling amber-less clear corner markers with the black outline. Not 100% clear but at least it doesn't have the amber.

I found them over the weekend for $45 +$13.99 for shipping! Expect sales tax for CA orders but that's still a decent price compared to any other vendor. I ordered mine over the weekend and they just arrived. It's the real deal as pictured 100% amber-less clear lenses.

I've been looking for Clear Corner lights for my C5 for a while but didn't find any at a decent price. Most places want anywhere from $100-$165, which I'm not paying.

I called a bunch of the vendors that others have said they purchased them from and most said the same thing: DOT has contacted us and told us we can't sell amber-less markers.

It's just a matter of time before the DOT catches up to this vendor so don't walk, run! He has a couple of postings with prices ranging from $45 - $59, make sure to buy them using the $45 posting.

How long ago was that? I just checked all current and completed listings for toys_auto and they had nothing for Corvette whatsoever. Must have been awhile back, eh?

Got mine from Mid America at Carlisle yeas ago. Clear with black border. The thing I like about these compared to others I've seen is that they're perfectly clear, no diffusers/ridges on the lenses, inside or out, :

There seems to be three different types of clears, these are all written up as clear corner lights
on Fleebay and various sites.
I was looking for the first one, not the one with the black accent or the other with the amber side.
No one on Fleebay has the first one from what I can tell and who I have emailed so far.

Default Clear corners

Nothing on flea bay but the ones w/black trim. Nothing on Amazon.

Found a set of clear for $10,000 w/shipping & ordered at this place:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Now my question, which type of bulb is the switchback & where do you get them?

Thanks in advance.
