Where can I get the "rear" side marker light lenses in "clear" versus the red that is on the car now? I did a search but it only came up with 4 hits and not relevant.

There's a forum vendor from Canada selling smoked/ clear fronts for $99.00. I bought my smoked front from him... For some reason he only does/ sells front side markers...? I believe the additional cost for the clear corners has to do with the use of LED's?

I bought the front clear lens from him for $99 and just use a regular amber bulb...........can"t imagine paying $500 per pair.

I got the clear with amber led. Don't remember the price but it was a lot closer to $100 than $600!
But as of several months ago he did not have rears. As soon as he does, I would jump on them too!

Some guys really like LED's and use them all over the car inside and out... Those are their potential customers... I know a couple guys who've done this by making their own... They look great when lit up...

The cost of the clearcorners is absurd. However, they do use a light colored backing plate which doesn't give the needless black border around the reflector that the less expensive versions do.

Definitely not worth it. Just pointing out that you do compromise a little with the lessor priced lenses. Unsure why the vendor's source uses a black backing plate when the factory uses grey that looks cleaner.
I just noticed that the 3rd brake light(the tiny one in the rear spoiler) is $500, that's even worse. $5375 gets you everything.
They do look cool but a person would have to have more $ than sense. Come to think of it I'm a little low on both of those.
Well maybe if we got a group purchase going we could get the license plate light down to say $250, its the cheapest thing on the list.

Hello I just put a pair of LED license plate bulbs on my car, cost was about 20 bucks cdn for both bulbs, see how long they last but still better than spending 275...
I have machine silver like you and the front clear side markers look outstanding on our colour cars, waiting for the rear ones too.
The picture is misleading. The border is not black but silver. For some reason (I am guessing the angle of the light or the shadow between the lens and the inset in the fender) it looks like a black plastic border. In any event when I went out this afternoon and looked, it looked clear and silver to me.
