Default Clear side front marker lights?

Do these exist? I would assume clear marker covers with yellow bulbs. The yellow lens just throws off the car IMO, I think clear would be much nicer.

Nice, but I'm not looking to black out. I'm surprised no one sells the clear ones. I know by law they are supposed to be amber, but with an amber bulb I think a clear one would be ok for most situations.

They might be expensive, but I've heard the quality is lousy (glue in the lens, etc.), so I guess they figure poor quality demands a high price.

Yeah I read about those, a complete rip.

I don't get why no vendors have made them. I would think that they would sell at least as many of the blacked out ones.

Clear with a body colored back pan but an amber bulb? Not so sure I'd like clear with a white back pan. Hmmm?

Seems you had a better response. I asked about clear tail lamps and everyone thinks I should get a Honda!. I think the cleas looks good with silver. The side markers look great but the price is way too high.

Lol, I've run into so many prejudices on this forum it's not funny. So far I can't put my windscreen on, I can't roll up my windows if my top is down, I can't get an extended warranty, etc etc.

I had the clear lamps on my SL500, they looked awesome. I think it's far from a ricer look, it's MUCH more of a Euro look. But hey, if you are feeling insecure feel free to rag on my ride.

Did you ever find anything?

I did the search, and this looks to be the newest thread asking about clear front side markers. Has anyone found them at a reasonable price? They looked good on my (sold) 911.

Default Clear Corners

Back when I had a G 35 (it wanted to be a vette when it grew up but was never gonna get there) clear corners were the first exterior mod that everyone did. It was cheap and looked good.
I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could find a decent product at a less than stupid price. I'd use LEDs as well!
