The front blinkers should fit there are no back ones on a camaro and i dont know of any clear ones being made. The front ones ARE different sizes from the back ones and i dont know of any place that makes the front clear lights but ive seen someone with them .. Redraif maybe? she has everything but im not sure whoo it was..

Redraif made her own front clear ones so I'm gessing they don't make them unless you had an 82-84. Someone mentioned in another thread where to get some fender clear markers, but I didn't save the address. I should have saved it because I want clear side ones too.

Before you call the R___ card, keep in mind that clear turn signals originated from Eurpean cars, which most use clear signals instead of amber and it has been used decades before the R___ scene.

I think you missed the point of my post: The clear side markers and turnsignals was started by European cars its just the R____rs use them. There's a difference. Of course you can voice your opinion. The lights are R___ looking, but they are not R___. There is a difference.

LOL, I don't like the clears that much myself. If that's what you think about them then what about the turn signals that came clear from the factory on IROCs? I guess a clear reversing light is R___ too.

Right Oh. Well, I still don't know where to get them.


Sorry TFM4th,

I know what it's like to have a thread closed because flames started causing the thread to be closed without getting the answer you were looking for yet.

clear lights are ok. Hell as long as they don't have a phony nitrous button then it's not ****. The way i see it, a ***** is a poser. If you walk around and say "My car can smoke yours, i got some altezzas and clear side markers" then your a riceboy. I know a kid who drives a civic with a body kit, and a mildly-sized wing, and a slightly oversized fartpipe. He admits defeat when the bird smokes him. And he knows the crap bondo'd onto his car probably slows him down more, and admits it, just likes the look. Now thats ok, hell the first steps of recovery is admitting you have a problem So what, everyones got a different opinion, leave them alone.
