Default Where can I get ultra clear side markers that are more clear than these?

They were never really that clear. On the car, they look frosted white due to the white lining around the edge. The white edge kinda screws up the clearness. It sticks out away from the body and makes the marker look white instead of clear.

I broke the clip on one while removing it to paint the bulbs tips blue. Luckily had the stock one to put on until I get another clear (or another set).

Anyone know where to get crystal clear sides to match my SPP FK 2 piece/5400K that are on the way?

Paint matches Santorian pretty good. Looks good during the daytime and most excellent at night.

Default i got mine from germanstuff4you on ebay ... no white edge ...

paid $37 (*way too much*). At first i was disappointed because of the lettering on the plastic. After noticing the OEMs had that too and installing them, everything is okay. I can look around for photos if you'd like.

I couldn't find that name on ebay. However, I did find another at a decent price. Thanks though.

Default Because it looks great!

Looks freekin cool. Plus it just about matches my Santorian. Legal or not, I love it. I may change my mind if I ever get a ticket.

I also put in clear corner bulbs (along with clear corners) and painted half the bulb blue. Knock on head - so far, no hassles. Looks good in day and night.

I was thinking of painting the other half (corners only) amber so at least it sorta looks legal at night. I'm just messing around - for 2.99 for a set of bulbs at Wal Mart - having fun!

It actually already does have some amber from the Bosch not being completely clear like the stock halogens
